• New entries due in all events (or as events hit their caps). We fill fast so register early.

• Registration fees and judge burdens are frozen. At this point, rooms are paid for,
trophies bought, food ordered, and judges hired. That means you owe us the money and the judges, whether or not you even come. If you do not meet your judge obligation or drop a judge after this deadline, you will be charged for a hired judge and a $100 fine.

• LD judge registration & names due.    We will likely run out of hires long before this; be sure to request hired judges early.

Tue, Sep 20th at 7 PM

• LD MPJ ratings can be entered online.  WE WILL ONLY ACCEPT MPJ RATINGS ONLINE. There will be NO strike sheets or rating sheets handed in at the registration table. Your judging needs to be the judging you registered online by the judging deadline. Substitutes will not be accepted.

Thu, Sep 22nd at 7 PM
• LD judge ratings/strikes due.

• All other division’s judge names & information due. We will likely run out of hired
judges long before this; be sure to request hired judges early.

• Drops can no longer be made online, but must be emailed to yale@tabroom.com.
$10 nuisance fines in addition to registration fees for each drop made after this time.

Fri, Sep 23rd, 2:30-4:00 PM

Debate Registration. Debate drops will be fined $15 after 2:30. Schools with debaters must register at Dwight Chapel by 4:00 PM, whether or not they have changes. Please do not come to registration early; schools that come early hamper our setup.

Fri, Sep 23rd, 7:30-8:30 PM

Speech & Congress Only Registration. You can register in person at Dwight Chapel, or call in to the tournament number that will be posted on our website. You must register to check in whether or not you have any changes. Schools that call in should pay their registration fees on Saturday morning at tab between 8:00-10:00 AM. Please do not come to registration early; that hampers our setup and our debate tabbing.
