Live Duo Interp

Event Description:

There are two divisions of Duo: Live Duo and Asynchronous Duo. Duo national qualifiers may be entered in one or both events. Partners in the Live Duo division must perform within a single camera shot; live split-screen Duos will not be permitted. A backup video may be submitted (featuring students performing within a single camera shot) to be used in the case of unresolvable tech issues during a round.

Every school that has an entry in the live Duo division must make their school administration aware that students will be competing in the same physical room and receive approval from their school administration that students will be compliant with school safety requirements while competing in the same room. The coach must certify that they have taken these steps before beginning the online Nationals registration process through Tabroom.com by agreeing to the Tabroom.com disclaimer. Evidence that this approval was not granted is grounds for disqualification from the tournament.
