Competition Q & A

Delta Epsilon Chi advisors and student members may ask a competitive event question directly to the Delta Epsilon Chi Division Director.

Please make sure to:

1. be as specific as possible,
2. indicate whether you are a student or advisor, and
3. include your state/province/territory.

Questions and answers that could benefit other members will be posted below as they come in. The person who asked the question will not be identified.Please check before asking, as the answer may already be on this page.

All answers that involve an interpretation of guidelines are based on how the director would interpret the situation at the International Career Development Conference. Guidelines could be interpreted differently (such as at state conferences) based on who is running that particular competition.

When you receive an answer, keep a copy of the email in case the issue comes up during the competition process. Above all, be proactive and always ask ahead of time.

Ask an Event Question

Questions and Answers (for International competition)

QUESTION: If my partner in my team event can’t make it to competition, can I compete alone?
ANSWER: No if it requires a team of 2. If the event allows 1-2 or 1-3 people and one of the teammates drops out, the one(s) remaining can still compete.

QUESTION: If I make finals in an event that has an exam, do I take the exam again?
ANSWER: No. The score from the exam you took during the briefing/testing time is used for both your preliminary competition and for finals. You just do a different role-play for finals.

QUESTION: If I am in an event that includes a written project, do I need to turn it in before the conference?
ANSWER: No. You bring them to the event briefing to be turned in to be penalty-pointed.
