2021 Competition[]

The 2021 competition did not include regional competitions due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The state competition was the first to be held virtually, and only included a selection of 12, test-only events. Many hands-on portions of some events were also cut. A trial competition was held on January 23rd, 2021 to test the virtual format, though only four events were run, and the results had no bearing on the actual competition. The state competition for Division C took place on March 20th, 2021, and the competition for Division B took place a week later on March 27th, 2021.
