Tentative Schedules

Note: All events, including hybrid events, will be scheduled in Central time. That means the first rounds on Saturday, Sunday, and Monday begin at 8:00 am Central -- which may result in early starts for online entries competing from Mountain or Pacific time zones.

Please remind your contingents that all judges are obligated through the first full elimination debate -- partial elim rounds do not satisfy this obligation. Of course, as is usual at debate events, all judges are obligated to stay in the elim pool until one round beyond their team's last round of participation (ie, if your team drops in quarters, you are obligated through semis.)
