League Policies

1. Introductions and Interactions

   When the round is ready to begin, the speakers will introduce themselves and may also ask about your judging experience or background. Feel free to share honestly about your experience or inexperience. 

   We ask that you refrain from engaging in discussion or asking questions of the debaters about the round and that you not reveal your win-loss decision to anyone during the tournament.

   Debater Responsibilities

   Debaters are responsible for explaining their arguments in an understandable way. If you are confused by the use of jargon or about something they say, that is their fault, not yours. 

   Debaters will know their correct speaking order, keep track of their own time limits, and hold one another accountable for following rules.
