Judging Assignment Each school MUST provide one judge for every three teams competing. Without the appropriate number of judges, we will have to waitlist schools that are below their required judge obligation. Coaches/Teachers can and should judge. There will be judge training for new/inexperienced judges. Providing a judge for training may also count toward fulfillment of your judging assignment. Judges must check in on the morning of the tournament by 9:00am, the latest. TOPICS Resolution for the MSQI tournament will be based on the death penalty topic (Word Generation - Series 1 - Week 13) - Resolved: The death penalty should be banned in the United States.
LATE ARRIVAL POLICY Once check-in closes (at 9:00am) – late arrivals will forfeit the first round and will debate round 2 (even if only late by a few minutes). During round 1, late arrivals should observe and flow debates. We must emphasize this rule in order to have an efficient, timely and well-managed tournament. Please oblige to this request. AWARDS
Speaker points will be on the scale of 30 points. We will provide awards for top speakers, top teams and sweepstakes for top schools. Sweepstakes will be calculated based on the school’s top 5 team entries.
