When did she give up her title? Isn't the rule 3 months before the competition? (NT)	No name	07:31:13 01/10/17 Tue


Her last event appeared to be November 27th (NT)	No name	08:14:59 01/10/17 Tue


Now you're just making stuff up. (NT)	No name	10:28:35 01/10/17 Tue


There is no such rule. (NT)	No name	10:39:22 01/10/17 Tue
Don't worry about what title she has had it won't matter. I think she is convinced she is Miss IL this year. Lot's of competition and I wouldn't count on it. (NT) -- No name, 14:43:14 01/10/17 Tue We all saw whar happened a couple of years ago. (NT) -- No name, 22:57:30 01/10/17 Tue Huh? (NT) -- No name, 06:53:14 01/11/17 Wed I thought it was 2 weeks? (NT) -- No name, 21:46:58 01/11/17 Wed No. I think they meant two years ago. (NT) -- No name, 08:32:35 01/12/17 Thu I mean, I thought titleholders had to resign 2 weeks before competing in another pageant? (NT) -- No name, 10:53:21 01/12/17 Thu No. There is no such rule. (NT) -- No name, 11:22:20 01/12/17 Thu So they can resign 5 minutes before the pageant or what? (NT) -- No name, 12:16:09 01/12/17 Thu No, they relinquish their title when they enter the pageant. There is no official time constraint on when that is. (NT) -- No name, 14:31:41 01/12/17 Thu According to the contestant contract, it does violate the MAO rule. Click in. -- No name, 21:37:21 01/14/17 Sat It's up to the director to enforce. Some do. Some don't. Some do and then don't. Some don't and then do. That's why you should always put "the rules" in quotation marks and have your parents make a donation to the organization. (NT) -- No name, 16:23:41 01/15/17 Sun Why so salty? (NT) -- No name, 09:22:57 01/17/17 Tue I'm not entirely sure it violates that rule. I think the greater purpose of this clause is to prevent girls from competing in other systems while competing in ours. I doubt MAO has any interest in discouraging girls from participating in their own system. However, if you feel this strongly, maybe you should call the national MAO office and ask for clarification. (NT) -- No name, 09:21:34 01/17/17 Tue I don't think what you posted from the contract means what you are wanting it to mean. When I read it, I interpret it to mean something entirely different. (NT) -- No name, 09:28:32 01/17/17 Tue It says that I will hold the title until my successor is chosen. (NT) -- No name, 20:19:34 01/17/17 Tue True, but it appears to be related to contestants competing in other systems. That's what it is meant to prevent. MAO has been very clear that in order for contestants to go on and compete for the upcoming season, they will have to relinquish their title. That is what they have instructed the contestants to do. But I agree with the poster above, if you need clarification call the national office. (NT) -- No name, 21:29:52 01/17/17 Tue My opinion.. Titleholders pay for their wardrobe and travel expenses locally during the local reign. Then when they go to state, some are fortunate to have a wardrobe allowance but not near enough to cover what is required during the week. By the time you add up all expenses for what a 500 to 1,000 scholarship? Most state gowns cost this! So don't let them compete in another MAO pageant (not to mention, in a state with lots of closed pageants) after they have spend thousands of dollars to compete not to mention raised the required CMN money each time. Seem like someone is not happy that they cannot win and need an excuse to keep others out. smh!. (NT) -- No name, 23:13:16 01/17/17 Tue
