Entry Limits:  Teams may enter a maximum of 40 entries with a limit of 5 students in each event. Additional non-sweeps entries will not be accepted. Teams may not enter a second non-sweeps team. At this point, there will not be a cap on the maximum # of total entries. However, if the tournament grows too large, we will have to cap at 400 entries due to classroom availability. FINALS will be clean slate.

Doubling: Contestants may double at their own risk, with the following exceptions: 

•          All events MAY double at their own risk.

Broadcasting - Documents will be available Tuesday, January 24.

 

Discussion – Each round will be run as a Socratic Seminar featuring a different text for discussion. Texts will be provided via Speechwire on Tuesday, January 24.  Discussion rounds will be staggered, so double-entered discussers should attend their other event first.
