Information for Coordinators

Online Registration System

The Online Registration System will be used again this year. Information regarding the system will be sent to the appropriate individuals. All projects must be submitted at the county level prior to the registration dates set by the regional fairs.

Levels of Authority

  1. The fair coordinator (school, county, regional or state) has the final decision on matters pertaining to the fair if these matters are not covered in fair regulations.
  2. Coordinators have the responsibility to deem a project as Failure to Qualify for projects not meeting project rules
  3. Any challenge at the school, county, regional and/or state level must be submitted within 1 business day following the fair. Once the official results have been finalized on fair day, the fair director will only modify or overrule a judge’s decision in the event of an obvious mathematical error in the scoring process.
  4. The fair coordinator at each level of competition (school, county, regional, state) has sole and final authority to resolve issues, concerns, conflicts, or disputes at that level of competition. State fair coordinators will not intervene in matters related to school, county, or regional fairs. For example, a county fair coordinator may not intervene in a dispute at a regional level fair. The final authority lies with the regional fair coordinator in that instance.
  5. Levels of Authority should be distributed among a committee. If an educator or coordinator is related to any participant or has a student participating in the fair, they must recuse themselves from decisions related to the project and defer to the committee.
