In LD/PF/CX a win will earn 2 points, a loss will earn 1 point. In Congress an overall session rating in the top 3 will earn 4 points, a overall rating of 4-8 will earn 3 points, 9+ will earn 2 points. Entries which clear to elimination rounds will earn 2 points for a loss in Elims and 4 points for a win. In order to be eligible for sweepstakes a school must compete at BOTH tournaments.Food

Varsity Debaters may be asked to allow novice debaters to shadow them- watching rounds and discussing them during down time. Varsity Debaters are expected to be accommodating and assist in the education of Novice Students.
