Welcome to the District 18-4A CX Debate tournament. I am excited to work with your students.

The schedule for the day is as follows:

Round One - 9:00 AM

Round Two - 11:00 AM

Round Three - 1:00 PM

Semifinals - 3:00 PM

Finals - 5:00 PM

Rounds will be accelerated as possible. Please keep on the lookout for updates throughout the day - I'll send them via email/text message.

Please make sure that your technology department has allowed network access for your STUDENT devices for the following things: 1) emails to your student emails from info@tabroom.com, 2) access/log in capabilities to Zoom, 3) access/log in capabilities on the Jitsi platform.  

In terms of facilitating the tournament the day of the competition, each of your competitors will need to have an account on Tabroom.com. Instructions for how you can do that can be found here:

For information on how to make a tabroom account check out this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DyTqMwhRJpo

For information on how to register for the tournament after creating an account is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rc3pdZi5WXM

Keep in mind students will need to have their own tabroom account created and linked to the school/institution they attend and an email address attached/linked to their account. 

Here is a video to help you link your students to their accounts: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3YNrHUweRPA&feature=youtu.be

Please use campus.speechanddebate.org to test both the practice space and the competition space before the day of your competition.

Let me know if you have any questions!
