Changes in Qualification and Entry Procedures

The NIET Committee approved two changes in qualification and entry procedures for the NIET at the November 2004 meeting.
These changes will become effective for the 2005-2006 academic year and the 2006 NIET.

1. Cap the total number of entries per school at the AFA-NIET at 66.

2. Revise the at-large qualification system as follows:

· 2 to 4 entries = 1^st Place Counts

· 5 to 8 entries = 2^nd Place Counts

· 9 to 12 entries = 3^rd Place Counts

· 13-16 entries = 4^th Place Counts

· 17-20 entries = 5^th Place Counts

· Over 20 entries = 6^th Place Counts

If you have any questions about these changes please contact your District Chair, Frank Thompson, Chair of the NIET Committee, or Larry Schnoor, National Tournament Director.
