The people who placed 4th and 5th at each competition get their names all thrown into a hat and drawn at random. 4 people are chosen this way, out of a possible 8.. (4 regional competitions x 2 names.) So, you can actually come 5th and still go to the nationals. @ Al - I'm sure somebody reading this will clarify the 15 second thing, (Anthony, that's probably you...) but I was under the impression you lose 15 points from each of the 4 judges. Anyone? @ Troy -
