Independent Entries and Private Academies

Students must register under the school they attend. We will not take independent entries or entries from private academies consisting of students whose actual school/team is already registered for the tournament, unless written authorization is provided by the school to allow to register under a different name. 

Any entry that is not part of a traditional school or speech and debate program will be considered an independent entry. Independent Entries will be taken on a case by case basis. 

Independent entries must provide the following information to be entered in the tournament. Any independent entries without this information will be waitlisted or deleted. Please email this information to the Tournament Director at cruznmariel@gmail.com

-The name of your organization (ie Bay Area Independent or Smith School)

-Contact Information for an adult who will be on campus chaperoning the students. This person must be an adult and not registered in the tournament as a competitor. They may be entered as a judge.

-A mailing address to send IE ballots and results

-An email address to send tournament announcements
