Q: What if I cannot go to out-of-state tournaments?
A: There are still so many opportunities in-state! We have various national tournaments as well as state and district level ones here in North Carolina! We also try to offer financial aid to promising students who cannot afford the full price of attending a tournament. Online national competitions also exist which are significantly more affordable.
