IE Notes

Rules

All rules for the 11 AFA events should follow the “AFA-NIET Description of Events” found at https://sites.google.com/site/afanietnew2/products-services/event-descriptions

Tie-Breaking

IE: Students will advance to elimination rounds based on low cumulative ranks, then inverse reciprocals, and then high cumulative speaker points.

Ranks in Finals rounds will be determined based on majority of 1’s, then low cumulative ranks, then Judges Preference, high cumulative speaker points, drop high points, drop low points.

Breaking

This tournament believes forensics is an educational activity and ballots provided are part of that education. Therefore when advancing competitors to finals we will err to the standard 6. If ties after cumulative rank, inverse reciprocals, and cumulative rate would result in 9 or more being eligible to advance ,adjustments may be made. Events with 8 or more entries will have preliminary and final rounds. Events with 7 or fewer entries may break straight to finals, but still receive 3 ballots.

Judging

All IE school judges are responsible for judging 1 round beyond elimination of competitors.

Even Sections

In prelims students will be ranked to 5. Ranks below 5 will be evened to 5.

Individual Sweeps

Individual sweepstakes will be awarded based on cumulative points accrued in prelims and finals in any events a competitor is entered in-ie no entry # requirements. Ties will be broken on # of events in finals/placings in finals/head-to-head finals.

We ask that NO ORAL CRITIQUES be given until the ballot for the round has been turned in to the ballot table.  If the ballot for the round has not been submitted by the judge before the start time for the next round has started, the round may incur a double-loss. There is opportunity for critique in between rounds and throughout the competition day. Additionally, if competitors are not present for draw, topic announce, or round start time for reasons that are under their control, they may be given a loss for that round.
