PARTICIPATION:  Any regularly enrolled student with less than four years college debate experience may enter the tournament.  

Schools who wish to enter an odd number of debaters are encouraged to contact other schools to build hybrid teams. While we are not able to guarantee the availability of hybrid partners, the tournament will assist in the creation of hybrid teams if individual names are submitted and to the extent that partners become available. Depending on the number of individual students entered, the tournament will potentially schedule the last individual student entered as a maverick team. Only one maverick will be allowed to enter the tournament.

EVENT RULES:  Phi Rho Pi Parliamentary Debate descriptions will govern event operation.  For complete information on the web, visit http://www.phirhopi.org, including the use of electronic sources during preparation. Teams are NOT allowed to consult coaches OR teammates during preparation time. 

 ELIMINATION ROUNDS:  There will be both an Open and Community College final.  The two teams with the best records will advance to the Open final round.  Standard tiebreakers will be used.  The remaining top 2 teams from a community college with the best record that have not advanced into the Open final will advance to the Community College final.  Again, standard tie breakers will be used.  Awards will be given to all teams advancing to a final round.

AWARDS:  Trophies will be awarded to the top 6 speakers in the tournament regardless of school affiliation.  Trophies will be awarded to the top 2 teams in the Open final and the top 2 teams in the Community College final.
