| Implementation date: | 2024-08-01 | |||
| Sections affected in Constitution & Bylaws: | Page 18 | Article 5.4.3 | Section 1 | |
| Summary: | Participation in interscholastic play production by any high school student is limited to three contests per calendar week, Monday through Saturday. There shall be no interscholastic play production competition on Sunday. | |||
| Rationale: | Play production's season is shorter than most seasons. Allowing schools to compete in three contests per week gives students and directors more feedback before districts and state competitions. | |||
| Pros: | Allowing 3 competitions instead of 2 per week provides students and directs with more feedback before entering the NSAA districts and state series. | |||
| Cons: | Allowing 3 competitions per week would increase the cost to the programs that chose to compete an additional day. | |||
