                                                        Registration fee is $10.00 per person

                                                        Indicate at time of registering which contest location your group will participate.
                                                    ***NO ON-SITE ENTRIES WILL BE ACCEPTED!
                                                       
The regional qualifying contest format is self-paced.  Once the on-site check-in process has been completed contestants will have two hours to complete the activities.  All contestants will begin at 10:00 am and must be finished by Noon.  Since all three regional qualifying events will be conducted simultaneously, results will be announced the following week.

Those competing at a state park (Salamonie) may likely be charged a park admission fee.  This is not included in the CDE registration fee.  To expedite park entrance it is suggested coaches plan ahead by having cash payment when arriving.  The gate house will be glad to provide a receipt.
