Due to time limitations, only ten skits can be presented at the convention; therefore, only the first ten schools to pre-register will be allowed to perform. Schools who pre-register but fail to present a skit will be penalized 10 sweepstakes points. Skit performance order will be determined by a random drawing of the pre-registered schools. Skits must revolve around a classical theme, must be written, produced, and staged entirely by students, must contain no objectionable language, gestures, costumes, or content, and must involve no hazardous materials or open flames. Schools that violate these rules will be banned from presenting a skit at next year's convention and may face further disciplinary action. Each school will have a maximum of 8 minutes in which to set up for the skit, present it, and remove all scenery and props. The top five skits will receive sweepstakes points; the top three will receive trophies, too.
