LD Schedule

LD Schedule

All Lincoln-Douglas rounds  (both preliminary and elimination rounds) in both divisions at the Minneapple will be hosted at Apple Valley High School.  The number of elims is subject to change depending on entries in each division. 

Decision Times

This year we are implementing a decision time VLD. Decision time simply means there will be a deadline by which the judge must decide each debate. Each round’s decision time deadline is based on the Tabroom pairing start time. If the judge does not enter a decision in tabroom by the decision time, it is within the Tabroom’s power to randomly assign the winner of that debate. We do intend to enforce this but hope we don't have to.

For prelims we will enforce a 75 minutes decision time for elims it will be 80 minutes. 

The number of elims may vary depending on the number of entries.
