An area with five clubs has one club that is not in good standing. Can the clubs in good standing in that area send two contestants to the area contest?
Areas with more than four clubs, no matter how many are in good standing, cannot have clubs send two contestants to the area contest. Note: The decision whether or not to allow two contestants to advance from club to area, from area to division, and/or from division to district must be made and communicated throughout the district prior to any club contests being held. Once the decision is made, it must be implemented consistently throughout the district in all clubs, areas, and divisions affected.
