The only potential problem could be _if_ UIL decides to _exclude_ private school and home schooled students. It's my understanding that UIL excludes those students in every other UIL sanctioned activity (exception is private schools that go through a qualification/vetting process--and there's _only_ 2 state-wide that have succeeded in achieving UIL status).

Not only that but UIL also normally requires schools to compete independently in all of their events. A large number of Texas FRC teams are from multiple schools or entire districts (1477, 118, 2587, etc).

3847 might be in the strangest situation. Strake Jesuit one of our schools is a UIL school, St. Agnes Academy our other school is not in UIL.

Also the UIL events couldn't be in season, that would mess up bag and tag and things.
