Fees:
One LD entry is $110
One policy entry is $100
One PF entry is $75

Judging requirements:
In policy, teams owe three rounds of judging for every entry.
In public forum, teams likewhise owe three rounds of judging for every entry.
In Lincoln Douglas, judge requirements are:
1 entry = 3 rounds
2 entries = 4 rounds
3 entries = 6 rounds
4 entries = 9 rounds
5 entries = 10 rounds
6 entries = 11 rounds
... and so on
You will notice that for the first of every three entries (your first entry, fourth entry, seventh entry...) you owe 3 rounds rather than 2. This is to goose the pool a little bit particularly in the case of single entries to maximize our ability to provide high quality judging. The judge requirement remains 4 rounds for two debaters and six rounds for three debaters, we are just requiring one round more than "usual" for the first (and fourth, and seventh...) entries.

ENTRY CAP
Our nominal entry cap is six, but we are unlikely to hit our fill point (which is quite high) so we will allow as many as ten entries per team unless something changes drastically.
