*Please pay special attention to the details of this message and the deadlines listed for videos and judging. *

- All extemp/debate students and all judges should login to their tabroom.com accounts today to confirm access. If they cannot gain access, email help@tabroom.com to resolve the issue.

     Most problems with tournaments have come from students/judges not accessing accounts/linking accounts.

- Ask all judges / students to login to their ZOOM accounts to confirm access.

Debate & Extemp:

• Any debater account not linked to their tabroom.com account by 2:00 pm registration Friday or extemper not linked to their tabroom.com account by 8:00 am registration Saturday will count as “a drop at registration.”

• Registration for Debate is 2:00 p.m. Friday. I will send a zoom link Friday morning for registration/help room. Any unlinked students will be a "drop at registration."

• Registration for Extemp is Saturday 7:15-8:00 (please confirm entries/onsite)

Please make sure if there is a conflict with a scheduled round, the tournament is notified immediately. Please ask judges to judge in advance if they can AND to type comments for students. Since students are not able to watch rounds, comments are their only source of educational feedback in a tournament setting. Please emphasize this with your judges.
