Students who have competed in a "higher level" event may not then compete in the associated "introductory level" event, such as Accounting I/II, Introduction to Parliamentary Procedure/Parliamentary Procedure, etc. A member who has competed as an individual in an individual/team event (1-3) may compete again in the same event as a team member the following year, not as an individual.
