Regional Competition
Oklahoma calls chapter competition as regionals. There are five distinct regions. Each region competes on a certain date.
- Central: first weekend of February or last weekend of January
- East central: one week after central
- Eastern: two weeks after central
- Northwestern: three weeks after central
- Southwestern: four weeks after central
Eastern region has been eliminated in 2015. It is uncertain about their existence in the future.
The most competitive of these five regions are the ones with Oklahoma's two major metropolis: east central (Tulsa) and central (Oklahoma City/Norman).
The selection process for advancing towards state competition is the same as all states. Countdown round is not used to determine state qualification.
