    All rounds are live, yes. The double-entry limits are explained on the tournament page. PF and LD are on Saturday, and Speech and Congressional are on Sunday. Speech competitors may not double-enter with Congress, and Congress may not double-enter with Speech, because people ideally should not be entering and leaving the chamber mid-Congress round. Speech competitors, however, may enter up to 2 IEs, and because IEs/Congress and the other Debate rounds happen on different days, PF/LD Debaters may enter a maximum of 1 form of debate (PF or LD) and 2 IEs, or they may enter 1 form of debate (PF or LD) and Congressional.

    STUDENT INFORMATION

    PARENT CONTACT INFORMATION

    EVENT SELECTION
    Make sure you have checked the double-entry policies if there are any. We are not responsible for schedule conflicts.
    ​DI/HI/OI may be combined if entries are low.
    BOTH partners must fill out form and pay in order to be registered!

    ​JUDGE PROVISION
    Signing up a judge without having a Tabroom account will result in us charging you for the set up fee. You can do this easily on your own by going to tabroom.com. It takes less than a minute.

    First time judging? Click here to learn how to do it! Or watch our Youtube playlist here.

    ​This tournament requires judges to have a paradigm on their Tabroom account, which can be a few sentences on your preferences of debating styles, etc. See here for example. It doesn't need to be this long, but make sure to add something before you sign up. For example: 
    "I am a parent, please speak clearly and slowly and avoid technical jargon".
