1. For registration to be complete, the grade numbers for the students must be entered. These grade numbers will be used to give grade level awards. Failure to enter in grade numbers or incompletely formatted grade levels will result in registration being seen as incomplete and thus not being accepted. 

Please enter them in this exact format:

First Name: Halah8

Last Name: Biviji

(grade after the first name with no spaces in between)

2. Meet judges requirement (one per two teams) for all debate rounds. 

Uncertified judges must not be entered in Tabroom. Judges must be able to judge for all four rounds. Judges are not allowed to leave the main hall until all ballots have been collected. If no judges from your school are present to cover for a missing judge, your school will incur a $25 fine per missing judge, per round. Swapping judges is allowed as long as the required number of judges is met and the coach notifies us of the plan to swap judges by the deadline. Failure to provide enough judges will result in a $100 fine per judge owed. If you do not know who your certified judges, I can provide a list.

3. Schools are limited to 6 teams per squad for every event this year.

If your school has more than 6 teams, you will need to make two squads and pay two separate entry fees. A school cannot have more than two squads.

4. Please stress to your students that registration at the tournament closes at 8:00 AM. 

If the student is not at the school by 8:00 AM, they will not be able to participate the entire day. Please inform your students to come at 7:45 AM.

5. If possible, please provide the phone numbers of the judges on Tabroom. 

This is not required, but it will eliminate delays because the tabulations staff will be able to contact them faster during the tournament. Judges will be texted if their ballot is one of the last to be turned in. They will also be contacted if they have not picked up their ballots and we cannot find them.
