Judging:

Congress: One judge for every five Congress entries or every fraction thereof

Speech: One judge for every five speech entries or every fraction thereof

LD: one judge for every four debaters (this is if there is two flights) or every fraction thereof

Policy: one judge for every two teams or every fraction thereof

PF: one judge for every four teams or every fraction thereof

 

For example, if you have six Congress entries, you must bring two judges. (This is the same as required at a Wacfl tournament)

My apologies to anyone who was planning on registering. Due to a football game and lack of parking and transportation for several interested teams, UVA has decided to cancel the tournament

[hylanddd 468]

You're kidding? The University is allowing football to trump academics...wait, stupid question - of course they are! UGH.

[SPREZZIDENT 3967]

my understanding was that the football game was just an inconvenience, whereas the inability of interested teams to attain transportation to the tournament was the proverbial straw that broke the camel's back

 

but i may have misinterpreted the details in the meeting; this is always a possibility

[mothergus 10]

Mr. Richards of BRHS heard that the UVA tournament has been canceled. Is this true?

[mothergus 10]

I saw emagnotti's message - my team at DHS is very disappointed because they were looking forward to attending the tournament.
