RLC Weather Policy: If the host county is under an emergency vehicle-only order, then the RLC will be postponed and rescheduled on the snow date. If a school administrator does not allow a chapter to attend due to inclement weather (this must be submitted in writing from the school administrator), the chapter will be able to complete their competitive event(s) at their school the next week for non-judged events only. Judged events may be done in a virtual format and only allotted number of advancements from a region will advance to SLC. If a school’s individual contests are not available for scoring at RLC and their test
scores are within the range of those students advancing to state from that Region in that competitive event, they will be allowed to advance to state competition. No RLC plaques will be awarded for these students advancing to state.
