Finances

• Entry fees are $50 per open team and $50 per novice team due by October 3th. Please see the “Payment Information” tab for details.

• The judging fee is $150 per uncovered team. This will be assessed as of October 1st. Judges are obligated through one round after the last team from their school is eliminated.

• There is a late fee of $10 for adding/dropping a team or after the deadline (in addition to the entry fee), or for any changes in the last 24 hours before the tournament. • The missed ballot penalty is $20/round. This includes ballots not picked up, and those with no decision entered within 30 minutes after the end of the round.

The Debate Society of Berkeley is committed to making the tournament accessible to all teams, regardless of means. If the entry fees impose financial hardship, please fill out the fee waiver request form.
