Caps and Limits

Yale has limited space. In order to keep the tournament manageable, we have limits in many events. Each school will be able to register five debaters in each LD division, until and unless the divisions hit their entry limits. Varsity LD will be capped at 160 debaters; JV will be initially capped at 120, but JV may expand if we secure more space. If a school registers more than five LDers in either division, debaters beyond the first five will be placed on the waitlist. No schools will be given a 6th LD entry (or more) until 7 PM September 10th, to allow other schools a chance to register. Sixth slots will be given on a first-come, first-serve basis, except that a very good way to knock yourself further down the waitlist is to pester us, individually or collectively, for additional slots. Speech events are currently limited to 100 per category, though typically we are able to accommodate more entries in some events. Public Forum is limited to 100 entries.
