Salado UIL 8 Round Rule Certification Tournament

Welcome to the Salado Online UIL CX State Certification Deadline Scrimmage. This tournament is primarily being held with the intent to help schools across the state get 4-5 rounds of CX debate to help them meet their 8 round rule requirements.

NOTE: We will do the best we can to avoid conferences from hitting each other, however, we CANNOT PROMISE that you WON’T hit someone from your conference. We encourage you to still debate to allow everyone the ability to claim that round as a true completed round.

We will be using tabroom for registration, balloting and communication. We will use the NSDA campus for virtual rounds. It is imperative you check your emails for tabroom updates, that is how we will send out information regarding the tournament leading up and the day of.

For information on how to make a tabroom account check out this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DyTqMwhRJpo

For information on how to register for the tournament after creating an account is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rc3pdZi5WXM

Keep in mind students will need to have their own tabroom account created and linked to the school/institution they attend and an email address attached/linked to their account.

NOTE TECH REQUIREMENTS: You need to make sure your tech department reviews this entire page to open the proper gateways to allow for competition to occur if you are competing at a school. Failure to do so will result you in not being able to participate and we will be unable to refund your money. https://www.speechanddebate.org/campus-tech/
