Other relevant info:
- $5 per entry. $10 for two-person events.
- You won't need to bring judges. If you wouldn't mind entering a coach or sponsor as a judge, that would be nice, but we don't anticipate needing to use them. Our team and building is very big.
- I don't think we will need to cap the number of entries or schools. Anyone who wants to join us can join. Again, we have a big judging pool and building.
- Mystery Event. This is an idea pioneered by Washburn Rural that we are adopting. Here are some basic rules: Each round will be a mystery forensics or forensics adjacent event. Each round will be different. Each performance will be 7-10 minutes in length. Competitors will be told what the premise of the event is when they walk into the room. After they perform, it will not be a mystery, but if they tell other people what that round is, they are putting themselves at a competitive disadvantage.
