Competing with Integrity 

It's Regional Championship season! Every qualified student has already achieved something significant through hard work, perseverance, and growth. At each of the 14 tournaments, preparation meets opportunity: Regional Champions will be awarded in every event and National Championship slots will be extended to the top competitors.

 

This is a good time of year to remember that in NCFCA, success isn’t just about advancing—it’s about how you compete. We expect every competitor to maintain the highest level of resilience and integrity, encouraging others and demonstrating grace. It also means keeping the spirit of the competition, honoring the rules, and respecting all competitors and judges.

 

Whether you earn a national qualification or compete in your final round of the season, make it count. We can’t wait to see what you accomplish.

 

Go, and compete well! 

Regional Championship Programs

The Regional Championship Programs are linked on each region's website page. Click on your region and scroll to the "History of Championships" section. There is also a link to a PDF version of the program on the tournament schedule page if you would like to save or print.
