Rounds 1, 2, 4, the first elimination round, and Semis will all be prepared motions. Topics will be posted in mid-January.
An average score per student is a 70. The highest student will probably get a 73 or so. The lowest student will be around a 67. There are some places for half points. Having a standardized norm is important for the purposes of breaking to elims without an extremely high points shifting a team or not.
