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 email julie.ketterling@uwrf.edu to request an 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 three individuals will be used to calculate the team score for Wisconsin FFA qualifying purposes.
