Welcome to the 2022 Pampa High School TFA LAST CHANCE  IQT. We are excited to have you on our campus for our IN-PERSON tournament! All live, no zoom, no synch, no async just good old-fashioned debate. Having said that we will have a VERY limited concession stand with grab-and-go prepackaged snack options. We recommend that teams make plans for meals at a local eatery as we will not have any items that would constitute a healthy, balanced meal. We recommend that teams each take a table and remain socially distant when possible. Individuals are encouraged to wear masks when feasible and to remain vigilant in cleaning and hygiene to minimize potential exposure to COVID-19.

Due to the desire to limit the number of people on campus and the limited number of locally available judges we will be restricting entry numbers. all IE's will be capped at 24 total and 3 per squad while Debate will be maxed out at 3per school and 15 total. I will try to accommodate waitlisted individuals when the total number has yet to be reached but UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES will we exceed the total entry limits. Students may cross-enter between A and B events. We will also most likely not be able to accelerate the schedule but we will if judging availability allows. PLEASE STRONGLY CONSIDER ENTERING YOURSELF and/or bringing judges with you.

PHS DEBATE MAY COMPETE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE EXPERIMENTAL INITIATIVE WHICH ALLOWS THEM TO ADVANCE AND EARN POINTS AT THE SECOND CONTEST HOSTED IN A SEASON.

PHS JUNIOR AND SENIOR COMPETITORS MAY BE USED AS JUDGES IN NON-TFA EVENTS!

Panels will be used in all TFA elimination rounds but may not be available for non-TFA events.

Power matching will be HIGH HIGH in prelims of debate
