Masterofnone,

You have a very good point that I missed. The next obvious question is if it is only school teams or if a private organization (say a Boy Scout troop) could enter a team. I am not sure if that or the sponsorship would change the definition of an interscholastic event. Is it interscholastic if there are some of the teams sponsored by a school and some by community organizations or just if all teams are school teams?

This could be a much grayer area than I had thought. I would probably advise against carrying inside the event until someone made some of these areas more clear.

Given that the law says the event must be school sponsored but does not mention school participation, I would say that this sentence answers your question.

Though I did like the athletic event for nerds question also.
