Does one need to be in school in a state to be a rep, or can you live in the state and go to school elsewhere?

Hi Mike,
It’s always a plus to be close by to the schools in the state one is repping but that is not a requirement. Hope that answers your question!

Hello! I am a 15 year old high school player from connecticut looking to get more involved, and I don’t know if I’ll have quite enough time, or even be allowed (because of age) to do something, but when I went to Quidcon I was told that pretty much everyone who’s willing can do something to help. So what can I do?
