South Oregon District Qualifier

for the 2023 National Tournament

Main Events/Debate

Location: South Medford High School, Medford

Date: March 11-12

Register by: Friday, March 3 at 5:00 pm

Limits: 4 per event up to your NSDA limits based on Chapter Strength (see speechanddebate.org)

Qualifiers: Top 2 in all events

Entry Policies:

1. Solo or Partnered events each count as 1 entry.

2. Team limits are based on your Chapter Strength. Log in to your account on speechanddebate.org, then check District Info under your school name on the left.

3. No competitor may enter more than 2 speech/debate events plus congress or BQ (3 total).

4. Double Entry Policy: NSDA does not allow double entry at the national tournament, but does allow each district to set its own rules regarding double entry. This is ours:

A. A competitor may enter only 1 team event, and a student who qualifies in that event must attend Nationals in that event unless the competitor enters a duo and a debate with the same partner. Both partners must list their events in the same order on their Single Entry Letter of Intent. Partners may only attend in their single event if both partners marked it as their first choice and both partners made it in their event.

B. We will follow the NSDA policy regarding competitors who both qualify in an individual and a team event.

C. A competitor may enter any combination of two different events except U.S. Extemp and Foreign Extemp, or more than one type of debate (Policy, PF and LD).

D. All students are allowed to enter Student Congress, regardless of participation in this tournament (potentially giving them a "third" event).

E. Big Questions and Worlds entries are not part of this formula and do not count against entry in other events.
