Debate Announcements
Schools in Attendance Total Number of Teams: 31 Ball State University Grove City College Purdue University DePauw University Illinois Institute of Technology Marian University Morton College North Central College Notre Dame – Du Lac U. of Illinois @ Urbana-Champaign U. of Indianapolis
Varsity & Novice Novice entries: 9 Varsity entries: 22 We’re going to keep the field open and not divide between novice/varsity debaters. Half of the novice pool are all from the same school and separating the pools would put the novice debaters in a round-robin tournament. If you have more questions about this, please feel free to reach out!
Outrounds With 31 teams we will break to octa-finals. Since this adds an extra round here’s the modified schedule post-prelims:
Parli Topic release - 1:45pm
Quarters Parli - 3:30-4:30pm
Time to prep Students will receive 15 minutes to prep and an extra 2 minutes grace period to make it to their room. By the 17 minute mark, any team that isn’t present in their designated round automatically forfeits that round.
Internet Usage Internet is available, but the tournament does not guarantee its reliability or connection strength. Additionally, sources from the internet are permitted to be cited in round, but cannot be physically present in the round (i.e., evidence cards, printouts, etc.)
Coaching Coaches are allowed to assist students during prep time.
Awards The top 3 teams in Debate Sweepstakes (not tied to speech sweepstakes) All outround participants The top 6 Speakers, including a top novice speaker The top Novice pair
Scoring Each prelim win receives 5 points and each outround win gives 7 points. Speaker points will only be awarded in prelim rounds and speaker awards don’t count towards sweepstakes points
