We will be in-person this year on Saturday, November 12th. We will run 5 prelims, a team must have at least a 3-2 record to advance. We will advance up to a semifinal in NLD and JVPF and up to a quarterfinal in VLD, NPF, and VPF. We are usually close to the awards start time

A network for personal devices will, finally, be available for judges to use. Therefore, to run an efficient, accurate, and educational tournament - online ballots will be required for all judges to use. Judges should bring a device capable of connecting to the internet. We may arrange for a few devices if we are told ahead of time of a need.

All judges are obligated for the first two elimination rounds. Teams in the Sioux Falls region are asked to provide 2 qualified judges who can stay throughout the entire tournament so we can allow judges and teams with a longer drive home a quick dismissal upon completion of the tournament!
