2012-2016
Interview Schedule Conflicts
Each participant is required to meet with the judges to explain their project. Participants/teams
unable to meet with judges during the allotted time will be disqualified. No exceptions will be
made due to participation in other events (i.e., National FFA Band or Chorus, career
development events).
Members who have qualified to participate in more than one category of National FFA Award
or Recognition Activities (e.g., CDEs, proficiency or stars finalist) must notify their state staff
within five working days after being selected or certified to participate. State staff will contact
appropriate program coordinator by the appropriate date set to determine if accommodations for
dual participation can be arranged. Under no circumstances will the accommodation impact the
published schedule, overall integrity of the event or other participants’ ability to be fairly evalu-
ated. In some cases, due to the published schedule, no accommodations will be made. In these
cases the participant will need to choose, and where appropriate, the state staff may choose to
certify a replacement member. This policy does not supersede existing event policies that re-
strict multiple participation.
Process for Implementation
1. The local agriculture teacher notifies state staff of conflict.
2. State staff notifies appropriate National FFA program staff.
3. Program staff will contact event superintendents to discuss published event
schedules and possible accommodations. National FFA staff will make final
determination after obtaining input from event superintendents.
4. Program staff will communicate decision to state staff in writing with a copy of final
decision sent to state staff, event superintendent and participant.
Add/Delete Policy
1. Should one member of a state certified agriscience fair team become unable to attend
convention, the state may choose to replace one individual. The new team member must be
someone who has worked with the project. This certification should come from state staff
by way of the official National FFA Add/Delete Form and must be signed by both the local
instructor and state staff and must be in the National FFA Center at least ten (10) working
days prior to the national FFA convention.
2. If another individual that has worked with the project is not available, or the entire team is
unable to attend, the team will forfeit the opportunity to compete and an alternative team
will be invited to compete by National FFA staff based on summer judging results.
3. All add/deletes for agriscience fair must be received at the National FFA Center at least ten
(10) working days prior to the national FFA convention. Any add/delete form received
within ten (10) days of the national FFA convention will be ineligible for consideration.
Once a student has qualified and is certified as a state representative in the agriscience fair, if
he/ she moves to a different chapter or a different state he/she may be allowed to compete in the
national event with the school with which they qualified during the qualifying year.
Certification forms submitted to the national FFA will be the only list accepted.
