Tournament Rules

In the absence of PFI-specific rules, the following rule sets will govern events:

• NCFL rules: Dec, DP, Duo, EX, Oratory, Prose (OI), Poetry (OI)
• NSDA rules: Informative, POI, Congress, CX, LD, PF
• PFI rules: Impromptu

However, the Tournament Director reserves the right to modify consequences for rules violations in consideration of severity and intent.

INTERNET RULE: Open access to the Internet for research for all competitors in all events. Communication is limited to sharing speech docs with participants in the round.

Live docs, when published, become the official tournament rules and supersede any other information on this site.
