1. Parliamentary will loosely follow CHSSA rules. Points of Information are permitted (at speaker's discretion) in the constructive speeches except during the first and last minute of each speech. Points of Order are allowed in the final speeches. The speaking times are 7PM-7LO-7MG-7MO-5LO-5PM. Debaters will strike from a list of three resolutions and prepare at their rooms. The negation strikes first. Laptops (and coaches) may be used during prep, but not in-round.

2. Public Forum will follow NFL rules. The April resolution will be used in all rounds. The use of laptops is allowed, but wifi must be turned off during rounds.  Speech times: 4A1-4N1-31CX-4A2-4N2-32CX-2A1-2N1-3GCX-2A2-2N2 

3. The first round will be randomly paired. The next four rounds will be power-matched H/H and L/L. 

4. The tournament will be single-flighted unless there are not enough rooms available to permit doing so. In that case, we will use a double-flight schedule. Depending on the amount of novice teams registered, we reserve the right to collapse divisions. If this is the case, novice teams will be paired with each other for as long as possible, and will still have their own finals round.

5. The two finalist teams will be determined by their prelim records for the first five rounds. After the awards ceremony, the two highest seeded teams will have a sixth finals round.

6. During online registration, schools will be required to register their judges by name. Each debate team of two students will be required to have one corresponding judge, as several rounds will have panels of judges.

7. Judges must remain on campus for all five rounds, and sign in prior to each round. A failure to do so may result in penalties to affiliated schools.

8. The top two teams and speakers in each division receive awards. All participants earn NFL points. POI points will be awarded in Parliamentary debate.
