Contestant Behavior

  • No use of cell phones or other electronic devices including smart watches is allowed during the duration of an event. This means from the start until the student is dismissed from the event. If a student is observed using a cell phone or other device during any event, they can be disqualified.
  • Students are expected to treat all university volunteers, facilities, and other contestants with respect. This includes not talking during events. Contest chairs and other UWRF volunteers may disqualify individuals and teams who do not follow these expectations.

Special Needs Accommodations

Teachers registering CDE participants who are eligible for special needs accommodations must contact Julie Ketterling (julie.ketterling@uwrf.edu) to request the accommodation. The earlier requests are made, the better the chances are of being able to provide the specific accommodation. In most cases the student’s school must supply the needed assistance.

Scoring

  • Scores from the top 3 individuals will be used to calculate the team score for Wisconsin FFA Qualifying purposes.
