Cost: $100 per team
Starting in 2008, The National Festival will charge $2.00 per adult attending the Festival (does not include officials).  The purpose of this fee is to defray the expenses of the festival not covered by the registration fee.
The Festival will feature:
National Competition over the entire Fact-Pak.
Each team will receive a plaque and individual certificates!
Qualifying for the 2008 Festival:
Each district's first place team (winner of the district   championship) will automatically qualify to participate at the National Festival.  Should the top District team be unable to attend, the district coordinator may select the next qualified team to fill that position.
Each region will qualify 5 additional teams along with its top district teams.
This means each region can sponsor a total of 5 regional teams plus 1 top team per district to attend the National Festival. All teams qualifying through Regionals must be from one of the districts within that region.
The Committee will select a number of at-large teams to participate and round out the field.
Registrations are on a first come, first serve basis, so register as soon as you qualify. The maximum number of 80 teams could be filled before the May 7th, 2008 deadline.
