Registration will take place on speechwire.com Below are guidelines for registering teams for the tournament:
Important: Late arrivals will be dealt with after Round 1 has begun. Please fill out the enclosed late form and wait in the cafeteria until someone comes to collect the forms. Do not enter the tab room under any circumstances (unless you were contacted by the tab staff to enter). This slows down our tournament. NOTE REGARDING JUDGES: There are judge requirements for our tournament. The judge requirement is that a school must bring 1 judge for every 3 teams for each respective division and event (e.g. 1 judge for 3 teams in Beginner PF and/or 1 judge for 3 teams in Advanced PF). Each judge is obligated to judge all three rounds. If your school has not met the requirement and we do not have enough judges, we will begin to drop teams in random order from schools that have not provided the required judge quota. REGISTRATION DEADLINE FOR ALL ENTRIES IS 5PM – December 9th, 2015 We will offer two debate formats, Public Forum and Policy Debate, featuring three rounds of debate for both debate formats. Points will be on the scale of 30 points, within the range of 25-30 points. We will provide awards for top speakers, top teams and sweepstakes points for top schools for overall sweepstakes awards to be given at the end of the season.
