NJHFR and NHSFR registration:
If you are planning on attending Nationals if you qualify- be PREPARED to sign paperwork on Sunday following the Awards banquet. BOTH parents will need to be present with official identification (drivers licenses) to be notarized. Payment and forms are due immediately following the banquet.

How qualification for Nationals works:
The top four contestants are eligible to compete at Nationals. If for some reason one or more of those qualifiers do not plan on attending within that event, the option will be given to the next in line (Up to the 8th qualifier). If you end up being in the top 8, there IS a chance you may be given the opportunity to compete! So be prepared.
