Additional Information

Space is limited, but we want to allow as many schools and students to attend as possible, so we are creating a waitlist. Priority will be given according to the following:

1) school diversity

2) judging burdens are fulfilled

3) with 1 & 2 being equal, who added themselves on the waitlist first

Quarterfinals will not be paneled (we likely will not have the judges to pull that off), but we do plan to panel semis and finals.

We are not breaking brackets.

Powermatching (round 3) will be hi-low within the brackets.

Awards - Top six in speech events and Congress will receive an award, as will those who break in CX, LD, and PF. In Novice divisions of CX, LD, and PF, the top six places will receive awards. CX, LD, and PF (both divisions) will also receive top speaker awards.

No unaffiliated entries - all students must be accompanied by an adult school official/sponsor.
