Drop Deadlines

Entries will be accepted through Tuesday, October 21, 2025, at 5 PM

ALL FEES WILL LOCK ON Tuesday, October 21, 2025, at 5 PM.

The deadline to enter a judge will also be Tuesday, October 21, 2025, at 5 PM. After this point, you will be charged a judge fee.

This will be strictly enforced. After this date, all drops will forfeit entry fees.

Given that we will have to wait until we receive school checks to pay judges, we must have an accurate estimate of the judges needed.

Any drop after October 21, 2025, at 5 PM will be charged the entry fee and incur a $25 nuisance fee to help mitigate the fact that judging had already been hired for those entries. This is a necessary evil because at this point we will have already hired judges to cover those entries; however, if your school has all the judging for the event covered (i.e. you have two policy teams and 1 judge, one team drops) email us and we can remove the extra drop penalty since we didn’t lose any money on judging in this particular instance.
