All necessary fees must be submitted to the national office by this deadline. ● Students must be officially registered as an NSDA member user with a valid, unique email address on the organization website. ● TIP: In the days ahead, only add new NSDA members that are competing at this meet and pay promptly. Consider adding other new NSDA members after the February 19th to avoid having to reconcile outstanding charges at the Congress meet.
JUDGES ● You must supply one judge to cover your Congress entries ● Please remember that District Congress is happening at the same location as an invitational speech tournament. You must meet the judging requirements for each tournament independently (i.e., your speech judges don't count towards Congress, and your Congress judges don't count towards the speech tournament).
TOURNAMENT STRUCTURE ● Chambers will be rotating Presiding Officers per bill, please review the procedures and responsibilities of the PO with your students prior to the competition ● NSDA Pilot Rules for Congress have been adopted into the Unified Manual
