Please note that observers are welcome and there is no cap on the number of teams a school may enter.
You may begin registering your teams on tabroom.com now. Registration will close at 6 pm on Friday, November 20.
Please refer to our website, ctmsdebate.org, and the CTMSDL Handbook for information on our format and rules. Schools need not have paid their $50 dues to the CTMSDL to attend. (We ask that you pay dues by December 31, 2015. Thank you to the schools that have already paid.)
Please email Jen Posner to let us know the following so we can plan for the event:
- Will your school attend? (You may change your mind over the next 2 weeks.)
- Roughly how many debaters and adults will you bring to the tournament? (This number may change a lot over the next 2 weeks, we just need a rough count now.)
- Any questions or comments you may have.
We look forward to seeing you on November 21!
