Notes:

1) Prep: Prep time is 20 minutes for JV and Varsity, 30 for Novice.

2) Computer, electronic device, and internet use is permitted only during the preparation period and cannot be used to receive real time assistance with their arguments from persons other than their partner. In the novice division of parliamentary debate only, debaters may consult with teammates or other debaters at the tournament during the preparation period. However, for online competition, debaters may flow on the computer, and if they refer to information from a published source, they must transcribe the full quotation during prep time by hand on a piece of paper that the opponent and judge may request to see on camera. For in-person competition, debaters must take notes by hand and use paper notes during the debate UNLESS there are disabilities requiring additional computer accommodation and advance tournament notification by the coach.

3) Debaters: “Prep” times reflect when debaters should be present in the prep area and ready to go, NOT when the resolution is released. They should go to their online round room at the listed start time; forfeit is ten minutes later. E.g. For Novice Round 1, novices should be in the prep room at 8:20 when pairings will be blasted; topic is read at 8:30 to allow for 30 minutes of prep; debaters be in room at 9:00 to start round; forfeit at 9:10 if no show.

Also, although JV and Varsity debaters may NOT receive real-time assistance with their arguments from persons other than their partner, Novices may consult with teammates or other debaters at the tournament. Coach prep is NOT allowed for any division. Lastly, phones can be used by all as timers.

4) Judges: Please be in your assigned online room five minutes before the round. ONLY press the round START time on your Tabroom e-ballot once both teams are there. (Those without ballots should use this time to grab refreshments, check their devices, and finish prior round comments.)

5) Protests: All protests should be brought immediately to the attention of event director in the Parli Tab Room. All wishing to protest must bring an adult, ideally the coach. The burden of proof is on the protesting team/coach; they need to supply evidence and the rule broken. Rules/norms from outside organizations will not be considered valid. No team is required to follow any rule that isn't a GGSA/CHSSA online rule.

6) Don't be alarmed if you come to your assigned online room, and there is another debate, usually it's in the process of wrapping up. Just wait until it is done. Note that each round is double flighted, meaning each round alternates between one Novice/JV debate and one Varsity debate.

7) All times are approximate. Whenever possible, we will move rounds up in order to expedite the tournament. Delays do occur—please remember that our volunteer-run organization does its best!
