**New policy regarding Beginner/Advanced Divisions

There will be Beginner and Advanced Divisions of Public Forum and Policy Debate.  Under our new league policy, students must be designated “advanced” if they have previously competed in two tournaments or more.  Students may be designated “advanced” earlier upon coaches’ discretion.  Coaches should anticipate the beginner division phasing out by second semester.

Judging Assignment

Each school must provide one judge for every two teams competing.

There will be judge training for new/inexperienced judges.  Providing a judge for training may also count toward fulfillment of your judging assignment. 

Judges must check in on the morning of the tournament by 9:00am, the latest.

TOPICS

Public Forum Debate

LATE ARRIVAL POLICY

Once check-in closes (at 9:00am) – late arrivals will forfeit the first round and will debate round 2 (even if only late by a few minutes).  During round 1, late arrivals should observe and flow debates.

We must emphasize this rule in order to have an efficient, timely and well-managed tournament.  Please oblige to this request.
