Please make sure your students have access to their account.

 

 

BALLOTS/RANKINGS

During the tournament, ballots, and rankings will be released digitally to coaches as rounds are complete.  Once the tournament is over, ballots and rankings will be released to students.  Please review ballots as they are released and inform me of any issues so they can be corrected before the ballots are released to students.  The only ballots that will not be digital will be storytelling. 

 

JUDGING

Judges need to have a device to complete ballots. We will have an open internet. 

 

STUDENT LUNCHES

 

Coaches may order pizzas/drinks from us  or bring food for Friday lunch as there will be no concessions or hospitality.

For Saturday, meal tickets will be given to coaches when they register, and students can use the tickets from 11:30 to 3:00. In addition, other non-meal-type items will be available in concessions.

 

HOSPITALITY

On Saturday, hospitality will be available in Rm 550 until 4 pm. Beginning at 8 am, waffles will be available for breakfast until 9:30 am.  We will serve taco salad from 11:30 am until 1 pm. Light snacks will be available at other times. 

 

ARRIVAL

 

On Friday, please arrive by 9: 30 am, so we can start rounds in a timely way. 

On Saturday, please plan to be on campus by 7:30 am to get drops settled before round 1 of prose and poetry. Students should be dropped at the cafeteria and remain there until they have a round or clinic. A coach from each school should come to the tab room to check in a verify entrants. Buses can park anywhere in the big parking lot between the main building and the football stadium. I uploaded a map to the tabroom site for your convenience. 

 

Debate elim assignments 

Schools with debate entries are required to stay up to 1 round after all students will be eliminated from competition to complete judging obligations. Any school that leaves before fulfilling this obligation will be charged a missing judge fee.
