Student Congress

Event Description:

On Tuesday evening, WASDL tournament managers will consolidate all submitted student legislation. Upon completion, the Legislation Packet will be uploaded to Tabroom and available to all. We will notify coaches via email when the packet is available. Printed legislation packets will not be available at the tournament. For the Legislation Packet to be created quickly and accurately, it’s essential that students and coaches meet the upload deadline and adhere to the formatting rules for file naming and uploading.

• Ensure the author titles the legislation appropriately,using a number within the range assigned to your school. (Contact the Congress VP if your school doesn’t have a number range).
  
  
• Save each document individually as a PDF with the bill/resolution number as the file name, prefaced with a D, E or I prefix, corresponding to the legislation category Domestic, Economic, or International. An example file name is E401.pdf. (Bill template)
  
  
• Upload each PDF in Tabroom by clicking on the Legislation tab. In Tabroom, you will include the bill/resolution number, a colon, and the full title of the legislation. For example:E401: A Bill to Fix the Universe. Legislation not formatted correctly will be sent to the end of the packet or might not be included at all.
  
  
• Only the coach or adult sponsor may upload legislation. Students must not be doing this.
