Rules

Divisons:

Awards: Each tournament will award an appropriate number of placement medals in each of the divisions. Additionally, speaker awards recognizing individual achievement will be awarded in the policy and PF divisions.

Judging:

Prep time: Prep time in LD is 5 minutes. Prep time in Policy is 10 minutes. There are no Low Point Wins allowed in any division. PF follows NFL rules.

Registration:

Cell phones: Just as cell phones will not be tolerated in the hands of the judges, they will not be tolerated in the hands of the debaters. If a student's cell phone rings during a round, it will mean an automatic forfeit for the offending person or team. The opposing person/team will receive a bye for the round.
