State Competition Clause Samples
The State Competition clause defines how competition between the state and private entities is addressed within a contract or agreement. Typically, this clause outlines the circumstances under which the state may engage in activities that compete with the private party, such as providing similar goods or services, and may set limitations or require disclosures if such competition occurs. Its core practical function is to protect private parties from unfair competition by the state, ensuring a level playing field and clarifying the boundaries of permissible state involvement in the relevant market.
State Competition. Applicant must be enrolled as a full-time student (full-time student status as determined by the school) at an accredited college or university located within the State by the first day of the State Competition. Applicant must provide proof of current full- time student status with this Application, in the form of a copy of an official certified transcript or certification by the school registrar of enrollment. If Applicant is enrolled in an “online” educational program, then Geographic Eligibility shall default to the State where Applicant meets either the requirements for Bona Fide Residence or Employment.
State Competition. The regional coordinator will submit copies of the student’s GPA Computation Worksheets and Transcripts used for regional competition. The coach must verify with the Regional Coordinator that all students remain eligible in their categories before the Regional Coordinator submits the team’s transcripts and GPA Computation Worksheets to the CAD office. If a student becomes ineligible due to a grade change between regional and state competition, the coach must notify the regional coordinator and state director before transcripts are received by the CAD office. CAD will review the transcripts of Varsity and Scholastic participants and confirm that all Honor participants are enrolled as full‐time students during the time of competition. If changes are not reported to the CAD office before the review of transcripts begins, not only will the student be ineligible, the entire team will be disqualified for not reporting the ineligibility in a timely manner. The Regional Coordinator must verify with the State Director that all decathletes advancing to the national competition remain eligible. The state director will file a team certification guaranteeing the team advancing to a national level competition is the same team that participated in the state championship and that all team members are eligible for the categories as indicated. The State Director will submit to the USAD office all copies of the GPA Computation Worksheets and transcripts that were used to calculate the participant’s category for their regional and state competitions. In addition, USAD may request transcripts directly from the high school to verify eligibility.
