To whom do the Rating Sheet and Test Scores belong?

The Rating Sheet and Test Scores belong to the NCA because they are part of the assessment and evaluation structure used to measure participant performance. The NCA (National Career Association) collects, analyzes, and maintains these scores to ensure fairness and consistency in judging, as well as to monitor overall program effectiveness. This centralized ownership allows the NCA to standardize grading criteria across different events and chapters, helping ensure that evaluations reflect a uniform set of standards for all participants. On the other hand, while individual participants may receive feedback based on their scores, the data itself is retained and managed by the NCA for broader purposes such as program improvement and statistical analysis.
