2024 ACES Scheduleđź“…
<< Back
Below is the schedule of competitions that have specified a date. If a competition site has committed to holding a competition, it either has a date or is marked TBD with the date not yet specified. Competition sites with ONLINE for the date will be held online. Unfortunately, we were not able to locate institutions willing to host the events. You will receive information the week of January 22nd about online exams.
For any competition that does end up online, the coach will be able to select the 90-minute period time and date that all their students will take the exams online within the competition windows, as was done last year. Due to the smaller number of schools competing online and improvements in infrastructure this year, we will not need to cap the number of schools that take the exams at a given time, so you do not need to be concerned about selecting your date and time as soon as the selection opens.
The date ranges are
REGIONALS: February 1 - 15
SECTIONALS: March 1 - 15
STATE: April 9 - 11
