League Policies
Five (5) slide minimum has been removed. (Ballots will provide the opportunity for judges to weigh the effectiveness of the accompanying digital presentation. Competitors can determine the number of slides they deem effective.)
Introductory slide with title has been removed. (A title slide is still encouraged, but the absence of one will not be considered a rule violation.)
Concluding blank slide has been removed. (This rule has been removed because it does not seem to make a difference with competitive advantage.)
No imported videos, GIFs, audio, and/or audio visual clips are allowed. (The audio and video clips that competitors use in their presentations are causing an unmanageable load on the tournament dashboard. The lack of audio and video should help this event run online without as many technical difficulties.)
Citations for supporting images or graphics will be included on a Works Cited slide instead of on each separate slide. (Citations on one Works Cited slide will prevent citations on individual slides that can be hard to read or possibly hinder the creativity desired on the slide.)
Power cords in the competition room will not be considered a rule violation. (Though competitors should not rely on availability of an outlet and should come prepared, the use of a power cord will not be a rule violation.)
