Event Description:

NOTE: Junior Varsity Debate will follow rules which are being tried at this and other GSL tournaments in an effort to bring back CX/Policy Debate in our area. The following rules apply in Junior Varsity CX:

1. No spreading. No fast speed. We are trying to get kids who are just starting this type of event to be able to learn the basics.

2. No email chains will be allowed with judges. Sharing of cases shall be no different than in any other type of debate.

3. Computers and internet are allowed to the extent they are used in other styles of debate.

4. Competitors are limited to the 2023 Fall Washington State Novice case list. Copies of the applicable case list will be provided to anyone who needs a copy of the same.

5. If open and junior varsity divisions end up having to be collapsed, open students when hitting a team which had registered as junior varsity would be limited to the junior varsity rules in that round. In any round in which registered open teams are hitting other registered open teams, the junior varsity rules would not apply.
