FALLON MAP

Reminders/General Announcements:

The transition from online to in-person debate is a rough one. Please be patient with your judges, coaches, and tournament directors. 

The easiest tabroom troubleshoot is to hit your email in the top right. If you are a debater, hit entries, and if you are a judge, hit judging. 

Debaters:

Only 3 POIs per speaker, i.e. when the other team is speaking, your team as a whole can only attempt 3 POIs total PER speaker

No POIs during the first and last minute of each 5-minute speech and during the third speech

No new arguments the last two rebuttal speeches; opposing team can call out the violation by saying “no new arguments”

15 second grace period for any issues.

Be prepared to self-time since it will be difficult to see time signals from the judge.

There should be NO filming/recording of debates.  Doing so will disqualify you from participating in this tournament and possibly future tournaments if the violator is persistent. 

Judges:

When filling out the ballot, please make sure that you are matching the score to the speaker. (If a speaker doesn't show up, the judge should average the two scores of the speaker who went twice and give a score of 68 to the absent name)

If tabroom asks, hit start round before the actual round starts to ensure that you can submit your ballot
