Please see tabroom for deadlines regarding dropping names and times fees will lock.  Please make sure that the check indicates it is for debate. My financial secretary receives all checks and will not deposit the money into my account and let me know you paid without it.  I have chased people down for money, only later to find out they paid because she put the money in the wrong accounts.

FYI

I have currently placed a cap of 4 entries per school on every event.  If there is a novice and an open in a given event, the school may bring 4 for each division.  If novice and open are combined, then regardless of how it is divided between novice and open, only 4 can register.  You are welcome to register more than the cap, but they will be waitlisted and added at the tournament director’s discretion.  Students will begin to be taken off the waitlist on Monday October 22nd.  

Judges

We are planning to use online ballots. Please have your judges create a tabroom account and bring some kind of internet worthy device.  Judges will meet in the library. If we need to use our computers to have judges enter ballots, we will.
