Washington Interscholastic Activities Association The Washington Interscholastic Activities As­ sociation, the governing body of high school activities in the State, is the sponsoring organ­ ization for official state level tournaments.

WHAT IS WIAA? The Washington In­ • terscholastic Activities Association is a non-profit, voluntary, tax exempt organization of member senior and junior high schools in the State of Washington. WIAA was organized by and belongs to the schools. School directors certify membership in WIAA for the purpose of regulating interschool competition in a variety of activities.

The Board of Control, which consists of active school or athletic administrators, enforces the rules voted by the schools. The members of the Board are elected for terms of three years and represent the ten WIAA districts. The Board, which meets six to eight times a year, is also in charge of the funds of the Association; rules on the eligibility of contestants in all events; hears and decides protests which are not spe­ cifically defined in the Constitution; recom­ mends changes in district boundaries; and sets dates for various events and tournaments.
