Waiting List & Entry Cap: East Mountain is a small campus, and so entries are capped at 8 in CX, 20 in each other debate division, and 14 in each speech event. We thoroughly anticipate moving students off of the waitlist in each event, but the entry caps are there to make sure we can accommodate entries in each event. There is additionally a per-school cap of no more than half of the entries in each event, but again we anticipate allowing students off of the waitlist. Coaches will be notified on Monday evening, Sept 22 if entries are moved off of the waitlist.

*Students may not enter in both debate and speech. Double entries are only permitted in speech.*

Fees: $10 per single competitor entry; $20 for a partner event entry

Judge Quota: One judge per every 5 speech entries or fewer; one judge per every 4 entries or fewer.

Judge Training (optional): Tuesday, Sept 24, at 6:30 pm on zoom

Food & Concessions: Pizza available for lunch, $2 a slice. Snacks and drinks available at concessions throughout the day. (Concessions in Sunflower Cafe, portable west of building 1.) Judges and coaches may enjoy a complimentary breakfast and lunch in the judge's lounge (room 102).
