During the 2026 NLSC CNC competitions, an issue was identified that affected internet connectivity for competition devices. Once the problem was discovered, the Workforce Development team and the National Technical Committee worked quickly to implement solutions that restored direct internet access and allowed competition activities to continue. 

Later, Thursday, we became aware of a separate file transfer issue related to the intermittent connection disruptions. Due to the loss of connectivity, several programming files became unrecoverable. 

The judging team evaluated all files that were successfully transferred; however, during the transfer process, file names were lost due to the aforementioned connectivity issues, making it impossible to reliably match programming files to individual competitors and their scores. After a thorough review of the available data and consultation with the National Technical Committee on Friday, it was determined that the only fair and equitable solution was to award full points for the affected programming station to all competitors.

Not all competitions will host a webinar. Advisors and competitors should check the Competition-Specific Updates page to confirm whether their competition is offering one and to access the latest information.

Please have students and advisors mark their calendars for any sessions that apply to their competition. These webinars provide key expectations, updates, and guidance directly from the National Technical Committees.

Webinar titles will clearly identify any sessions that serve as a mandatory orientation. Competitors must either attend live or watch the full recording before arriving at NLSC.

Recordings will be posted on the Competition Updates page within approximately 48 hours of the live session.

New this year: A link to the SkillsUSA Pathful webinar tool has been included. Competitors can log into their SkillsUSA Pathful account to view technical standards and use the webinar series…

The following discrepancies have been identified and corrected:

• The Engineering Drawing included an incorrect thread size.

• The data sheet for the Spot Drill tool listed an incorrect angle.

• The judging scoring rubric contained an incorrect description for Operation 2.

Three of the files have that have "RevA" added to the name been replaced in the folder CNC 2-Axis Turning State 2026.

Please note: The CNC Programmer project incorporates both the 2-Axis and 3-Axis components, so these revisions apply to that competition as well.

Hi everyone,

I am in dire need of a Marine Service contest, equipment list, and score card as soon as possible. PLEASE if anyone has one they can share I would greatly appreciate it.

Thank you,
