However, no student who qualifies as advanced may compete in the beginner division. First-time debaters start in the beginner division; can move to the advanced division within the year depending on performance, as stipulated above. This is to ensure competitive equity to all competitors at the tournament. Registration Guidelines
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. 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. There will be judge training for new/inexperienced judges. Providing a judge for training may also count toward fulfillment of your judging obligation. Judges must check in on the morning of the tournament by 9:00am, the latest. TOPICS PARLIAMENTARY 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.
AWARDS Speaker points will be on the scale of 30 points. We will provide awards for top speakers, top teams and sweepstakes points for top schools.
