In order to advance to the next level of STAR Event competition, students need to place in either of the top two places of their event and score at 60 or above to advance from Regional STAR Events to State STAR Events. Participants need to place in either of the top two places of their event and must score a 75 or above to advance from State STAR Events to National STAR Events. 

If there was only two, or less, students in the event those students will continue to advance to state or nationals if they meet the minimum score requirement.
