Hello all!

Short version for now:

1. Fully In-person.
2. The goal is to finish in 2 days. Fri/Sat Only. We could imagine a world where LD entries are large enough that we feel obligated to host the last few remaining elims on Sunday to comply with TOC norms due to the TOC bid in that division. We will announce that with plenty of notice.
3. No Debate/IE Cross-over. 5 Prelims Debate, 3 in Speech. Appropriate elims based on numbers. If room availability allows, we will NOT put speech into Patterns. If we are forced to do so due to room restrictions, we will move to using two patterns for Speech to accommodate as many entries as possible.
4. Flighting in LD and PF.
5. N/JV/V offered in debate. Single division of IE's. If high numbers of entries exist in the V debate divisions, we might have to limit N and JV debates due to the size of the building.
6. Small judge burden. 1 in IE's, 1 for debate. Thats a max. Only if you have entries. Please recruit qualified judges.
   
   
   

Thank you for considering us!
