A tie will be broken by the Technical Committee within the specific contests.

Based on the discussions and subsequent vote the Championships are going to implement the following: • With the help of EDU we will develop a 25 question test that will come from the Career Essentials Foundation, this is available at no charge to all members as well as the SkillsUSA Handbook. • Nationals ask that the 2019 NLSC Test to be administered by the states this year similar to what you have done in the past with the “Old Tie Breaker” • In 2020 the test will be scored as part of the competitors final score. • A study guide made available (by EDU) • Nationals will also continue to work in the SkillsUSA Framework to all contests.
