Entry Deadline:

●     Entries and videos are due Tuesday, March 3rd^h by 5:00 p.m. CST via www.speechwire.com. Fees will be assessed based on information we have received by March 4th at 12:00 p.m. CST.

 

Fees:

●     For several years, UNL and UNO have co-hosted a late season tournament in order to give teams an opportunity to stretch their budgets. To do this, we offer low entry fees of $5 per slot; each uncovered slot will incur an additional $15. Please provide enough usable judges to cover your entry.

●     A fee of $10 will be charged for all changes made at registration. A fee of $50 will be charged for any judge dropped at registration. Such changes make it difficult to run a timely and efficient tournament. Please try to communicate all changes to the tournament directors ahead of time. Please make checks out to UNO Mavforensics and send to UNO Dodge Campus, Mavforensics ASH105, Omaha NE 68182.

Judges Code of Ethics:

 

●     We believe it is important to create a positive educational environment for all students participating at the tournament. Any judge found to be making comments on ballots that are deemed to be racist, sexist, or otherwise discriminatory by the tournament director will be removed from the judging pool immediately. It is also our expectation that all judges make supportive comments and do not use overly penal speaker points. If judges are found to be engaging in those behaviors, they will be asked to change immediately or be removed from the judging pool. Any schools that have judges removed from the pool will be charged for uncovered slot fees.
