1. Clubs may advance up to two contestants to the District level.
2. District contest is non-gender specific.
If your club is still holding separate male/female contests, make sure you are using the same judges for both contests. You will advance the winner who scored the highest to the District contest.
If a zone has the minimum of three contestants and wants to hold a zone contest, that winner will advance directly to the District finals.
