Judges:

All registered schools need to recruit unaffiliated judges and/or parliamentarians. All judges

must be linked in Tabroom and added to the judging pool in Tabroom. Schools are required to supply

one judge for every 7 entries. CCPS students will be allowed to compete and place, due to the reason Congress tournaments are extremely rare in the State of New Mexico.

Registration:

Deadline: Wednesday, December 2nd, at 4:00 pm.

Registration Process: http://ccpscongress.tabroom.com/

There will be House and Senate divisions. No entry limit for House. Senate will be limited to 10 entries per school. House is for students in their 1st or 2nd year of speech and debate. Senate is for students in their 2nd year or beyond.

Note: if either of these divisions has fewer than 15 participants, or if either of these divisions has

representation from fewer than three schools, the divisions will collapse into a single division.
