Tournament Schedule + Pattern Information

The latest version of the tournament schedule can be found here.

**Exception added 9/17 - DUO and DUET will have 1 prelim and a final round during their event's R2 timeslot.**

We intend to clear all winning records in all debate events.

Patterns and cross entry recommendations were updated on 9/16 - changes are italicized.

Pattern A: Extemp (DX, IX, NX), OO, DA, DI

Pattern B: INFO, DUO, HI, POI, Oral Interp (Prose + Poetry), IMP

Cross entries: Students may cross enter in as many events as they can sprint to. We will not hold rounds for cross-entered students. Judges will be instructed to remain in the competition room until 75 minutes after the round start time to facilitate all students performing in that room, and no later.

Below is our recommendation for cross entry:

Policy Debate: none. Re-register if 2 losses after Friday night by emailing Bryce for Pattern A.

World Schools Debate: Can cross enter with Pattern A. Finalists may need to hustle to their pattern A rounds.

Congress: Both Pattern A and B.

VLD/VPF: Pattern A if not advancing to elimination rounds. Otherwise, not possible.

NLD/NPF: Pattern A.

Speech: As many as you can make within 75 minutes. We recommend no more than 2 or 3 per pattern.
