TIMING

* Awards ceremony around 2:30pm in Wood Room
ENTRIES: 6 entry cap per event, per school in LD, PF, Congress & CX. World Schools team cap is 3.
We have a total entry limit for 90 for the whole tournament so we've sent out email invites on a rolling basis to Indy-area schools. Any entries after the limit is reached may be put on a waitlist. Several schools were sent official invite emails from Speechwire so we could control the entry numbers (we only have 40 rooms and an entry cap at 90). If you are out of the Indy area and/or did not receive an invite but have some students that would like to attend, we might still have space- if this applies to you and SW will not let you register without an invite, email Matt McGrath at mmcgrath@parktudor.org, as we might still have space.
JUDGES: One judge for every three entries (4 entries = 2 judges)
FOOD: Food will be available for purchase for breakfast and pizza for Lunch- please bring CASH for all concessions. All proceeds from concession sales fund our ability to provide ribbons and/or awards.
PARKING & DIRECTIONS: Visitors may park in any student lot and make their way to lobby of the Upper School Building. PT's campus is on a bit of a hill with a quad in the middle. The US building is the largest building and is on the West side of campus.
