NPDL Nationals
2023 — NSDA Campus, US
Schedule
Round times are when debaters and judges should be in their rooms for topic strikes. Please try to arrive a few minutes early.
Round 2 is double-flighted, because we do not want to force students to stay up too late or wake up too early. All teams in the Pacific timezone will be paired for Round 2A Friday night. All teams in the Eastern timezone will be paired for Round 2B Saturday morning. Round 2 is preset, so powermatching will not be affected.
Double Octofinals are also double-flighted. The rounds that end up with two teams from the Pacific timezone will be paired for Flight A Saturday night. The rounds that end up with at least one team from the Eastern timezone will be paired for Flight B Sunday morning. Doubles brackets will not be broken to artificially create Pacific-vs-Pacific or Eastern-vs-Eastern match-ups.
All judges are obligated for all flights, unless excused by the Tab Director.
All other rounds are single-flighted.
