Similar to CHSSA State tournament's new practices as of 2019: Four preliminary rounds with a break to quarters. A run off will be done for debate events with an odd number of slots to State.  

Judging

Schools are required to bring  one judge for every three debaters/teams. We will be hiring as many judges as we can but we still expect judges to come and to stay. 

If schools need different judges for each day that is fine, please send me an email so I can enter in that information. 

Entry Limits

All events will be capped at 10 entries per school. 

 

Principal's Designation Letter
 
Before any school is permitted to compete in any OCSL tournament, they must have a signed copy of the Principal's Designation Letter on file with the League.  This document confirms who is officially designated to represent each school as the official sponsor with the League, and who is authorized to represent the school as an official chaperone at League tournaments.  Please have your principal fill out and sign the letter, which can be downloaded from the front page of each OCSL tournament website, and return it to the league no later than registration of first League tournament your school participates in this year.

League Dues Invoice

League Dues are $30.00 per school per year.  These are expected to be paid at or before a school's first OCSL tournament of the year.  An invoice specifically for league dues is located on the front page of each OCSL tournament website.  These dues only need to be paid once per year, not for each tournament.
