*If you have a student that has never participated in Policy before, and wants to try it out, they are welcome to sign up and compete, regardless of their individual status (varsity/novice). Just keep in mind that Policy runs constantly during the tournament, so if a Varsity student participates in Policy, they won't be able to act as a judge for your school.

**Students competing in Policy or Congress may NOT double enter in any other event due to them running through both debate and speech rounds.
