I had a question regarding state qualification from differing regions in Texas: Is it possible to qualify for the North Texas Regional Competition through a tournament in a different Region (we are planning on going to San Antonio and it’s in the South Texas Region)?
The previous reply is not accurate. I host several events a year in Galveston and yes a win in South Texas can qualify you for North Texas.
Ok Thank you!
Yea I have been running tournaments since I was born and qualifying through different regions (in the same state) is no problemo. Glad to hear you are so into the game!!
I believe the clarification from the RECF is that anything that qualifies you for a State/Regional Championship qualifies you for the championship in the region that you are registered, not the one that it is located. This means that, yes, competing in a South Texas Regional can qualify you for your North Texas Regional
I’ve gotten these notifications when qualified:

So, backing up @Massey, he is correct. You may sign up to any state championship as long as it’s in your state.
