Congress Information

General Notes

This year, the Cavalier Invitational will use Tabroom.com to run the Congress division of the tournament.  All competitors and judges should be linked to their Tabroom account, and should be signed up for "Live Updates."  Judges will utilize electronic balloting throughout the tournament.  We will clear no more than the top half of preliminary chambers to a Semifinal Round.  We estimate that we will advance the top third of semifinal chambers to the Final Round.

Legislation

Each Session (Preliminary, Semifinals and Finals) will be themed.  Three to four pieces of legislation will be available for each session. Only the legislation for that session may be debated.  The chamber may order the bills however they choose.  No new legislation may be brought to the floor.  No authorships exist on the legislation; instead, only sponsorships will be heard on legislation.

Legislation will be posted prior to December 25th, 2018.
