OUT-OF-STATE ATHLETES ALLOWED IN CERTAIN SPORTS
The TSO Board of Directors adopted the following rule in 2023:
The sports of:
- archery
- basketball
- cycling
- racquetball
- softball
- volleyball
will be open to out-of-state residents with TN athletes receiving priority registration. Out-of-staters may register starting April 15 as long as capacity has not been reached.
Please spread the word to teams you might know in other states. In addition, cycling, racquetball, and archery out-of-staters will be welcomed as well.
RESULTS NOTE:
Per National rules : "Each event allows for a specific number of qualifiers. If out-of-state residents qualify, they will not take away a qualifying spot from a state resident.
Here in Tennessee we may qualify the number of state residents specified for each event in addition to the out-of-state qualifiers.
For example, if a Tennessean places 5th in archery with 4th place going to a KY resident, BOTH would qualify- the Tennessean would be moved up.
