Principal Permission to Compete

Each school must submit a signed letter by the school’s Principal, on official letterhead, indicating that:

·        All the applying students are enrolled at the school,

·        Those students have the school’s permission to compete at the Tournament of Champions representing their school name, and

·        The adults listed are designated as supervising and representing the students for the purposes of the TOC. [You must list at least one adult who will be traveling with the student(s), but you may list additional names for emergency purposes.]

You may submit one letter for your entire squad as long as the letter contains all the applying students’ names and the requisite adult names.

This letter should be signed by the Principal and submitted by mail to UK Debate. (You may also scan and email to Linda.Barker@uky.edu).
