This tournament is for Middle School students only. The NYDL welcomes new members, but we have our own format and policies. If you want to attend this tournament and your school is not an NYDL member, please contact Nick Smart.
Information for Judges
All judges must have attended an official NYDL judge training before judging. If you haven't already attended or viewed a session, there is a live judge training for new judges at 6:00 PM tonight. https://esuus-org.zoom.us/j/87511368071
Information about the tournament, including the schedule, is available in the invitation. The invitation, rules, and judge training materials are also available on the tournament website.
Be sure to bring some means of note-taking (whether electronic or paper) and some means of submitting ballots (which must be electronic). Smartphones can get the job done, but laptops are preferable.
Thank you so much for volunteering your time, care, and attention tomorrow. We could not run these tournaments without you, and we truly appreciate you pitching in as part of our incredible debate community!
