Event Deadlines
January 11, 2024 - optional deadline
Students will need their Participant ID number, and password, from their advisor. Only the team captain will be able to upload the file.
Advisors can alter challenge/materials required as needed
Students should complete the challenge within a two hour time window, and then upload a photo, including measurements, of the solution.
Students are not required to meet this deadline for State Conference competition in this event. However, it is very much still recommended that you do so for feedback.
MARCH 2024
Students will compete in an onsite challenge at State.
At check in, teams will receive a verification sheet, and will partner up with another team to do toolbox verification.
Washington TSA Rules
To compete, students must belong to an affiliated TSA chapter, register for competition by December 15, 2023, and pay the $30 competition fee. Participants must also meet the January 11 event deadlines (see above) to “qualify” for the Washington TSA State Conference in March.
To compete at the WTSA State Conference, students must have been registered in December, met the Jan. 11 deadline, and then register in February for the State Conference ($420/$500 per student package price (4 or 2 students per room)).
At the state level, 2 teams per chapter may compete.
