The first place teams from each of Texas' four regions plus the next highest six overall scores will be invited to an online state online semifinals in April 2010. The Fall regional champions will compete against the Spring 2010 state qualifiers. The Spring 2010 quarterfinal competition will take place from March 29 through April 2, 2010 with registration beginning January 18, 2010. The state finals will be held on April 13, 2010 in Austin.
