What Is Varsity LifeSmarts Competition and National?
National Consumers League operates this coached consumer-knowledge competition for teams of four or five students in grades 9-12. State champions and selected Wild Card or Sweepstakes teams qualify for Nationals; teams do not enter Nationals directly without qualification. One team per coach, school or local organization may compete, and prior national-winning students may not return to Varsity competition.
Season 33 general entry opens September 1, and state qualifiers are planned before February 20. Selected Nationals teams register by March 5, 2027 for April 15-18 at Buffalo Convention Center. No exact cutoff clock or timezone is published. Confirm state deadlines and the selected-team registration packet with the coach.
