Checklist for Debate Coaches

This information is taken from the tournament invitation, and there is more exhaustive information there. Please consult this checklist and the invitation periodically to make sure you have completed all steps and to see if there have been any updates.

• Make sure your students are signed up by the deadline. Debate entries are due 12/9 at 9:00 PM.

• Make sure your students have linked accounts on Tabroom. They will be otherwise unable to compete.

• Judges must also have linked accounts. If they do not, they will be unable to access their ballots.

• Make sure your LD and Policy judges have paradigms listed on the Tabroom site.

• Please enter any schedule conflicts in Tabroom for your judges. This is important to do so we know your judging commitments are fulfilled. The scheduling is done in shifts, and each judging entry must have all shifts covered.

• Remember, a judge is are able to cover both speech and debate, but cannot cover multiple forms of debate.

• If your entries have insufficient judges, your entries may be dropped without a refund. Please provide judges that are able to judge the events they are covering and the levels of competition in which your students are engaged.
