The following Region 3 Rules and Guidelines follow the long established rules and guidelines used under the former National Student Competition.

The coach and members of every competing team need to review two documents.  In turn, it is the coach's responsibility to make certain that all faculty attending from their institution abide by the rules of conduct and contact as outlined in these two documents.

The first, and most general document, is the Guidelines for Region 3 Student Competitions.  Teams should review these for the basics on behavior and equipment.  This document takes the former National Student Competition guidelines and applies them to the Regional competition.  As each competition approaches, late-breaking news indicating availability of projectors, video taping, or other items will be issued through the ASC listserv and posted on this site.

The second document, contains Category-Specific Competition Rules for each of the three contests conducted at Region 3.  The following links will take you to specific documents related to each division as they become available.  This year's documents will be linked as soon as they are received from our judges.
