Crestian Policy Classic

2022 — NSDA Campus, FL/US

Welcome to the 2022 Pine Crest Crestian Policy Classic! The tournament will be held online Feb 19-21.

The Varsity division is named after Matthew Pritsker and Steve Cousins. 

The Novice division is named after Jerrell Maurice Braden (more information can be found on the tabroom page to the right). The top speaker award in novice is named after Raam Tambe.

Once again, GBN Debate is helping to run the tournament and will donate 100% of the profit to Chicago Debates. Last year we raised $11,000 and the goal this year is to raise more. One way to aid the tournament in raising more money is to consider donating extra rounds of judging. 

In order to get off the waitlist and into the tournament you need to do two things:

1. Upload the school permission form as a pdf signed by a school administrator on official letterhead. 

2. Pay the tournament the entry fees you owe AND include your tabroom invoice with your payment. 

We strongly recommend you pay by credit card because we see the payment usually within a day and can let your team into the tournament faster. If you pay by check, the payment won't get posted until our business office receives it and posts it for us to see. Remember, just because you are on the waitlist, that does not mean you are guaranteed entry into the tournament. When spots are full, we won't let more team off the waitlist.

If you want to pay by credit card, upload your school permission form (see above) and email Michael for instructions. Please know, there is a non-refundable $2.85 credit card fee for each increment of $100 you owe. So, if you owe $101 - the fee is $2.85 x 2, if you owe $201 - the fee is $2.85 x 3, etc. The system will automatically add the credit card fee - you should not. 

Please make sure if you send a check, you send it to the correct address. If you send it to the old address, we will not get your check. You must include your tabroom invoice with your check. If you do not send your invoice, it will slow down the processing of your payment and you will remain on the waitlist longer. Please double check with your business office that they will send your entry check to the address and with your tabroom invoice.
