Happy February!

Please follow the instructions on this page to register your entries. Remember, each school may only initially enter FIVE students in all events except Congress, in which you can enter TEN.

Registration for NEW ENTRIES will close on Monday, February 12th at 12pm NOON. Waitlisted students will be released then. Changes (drops or name changes) can be made until 12pm on Tuesday, February 13th. Any hidden drops will result in your school being fined $25 per drop. You will be able to make your own changes until 12pm on that Tuesday.

All competitors should arrive between 2:00-2:30. All judges should report to the media center and competitors will report to the cafeteria. Coaches will register in the media center then join and supervise their teams in the cafeteria until the Northeast bell rings.

Remember to remind your students that no competitor may enter a room until the judge arrives, and if they're waiting for a judge longer than 15 minutes they should send a representative to the media center to let the tab room know. Also, please be sure when you're supervising your students and getting them ready to leave at the end of the tournament that they clean up after themselves in the cafeteria.

For PF, the FEBRUARY topic will be used - Resolved: The United States should abolish the capital gains tax.
