The Parliamentary Debate Society at UVA is inviting you to our Fall 2024 tournament on September 20 and 21.We will host five rounds of in-person, loose-link, gov-choice, opp-flex debate, followed by a break to varsity quarterfinals and novice semifinals (subject to change based on tournament size). We will try to break all 4-1s. This is a closed tournament. Given space restrictions, we are imposing a registration cap of 40 teams. If enforcing the cap becomes necessary, every school that registers will be permitted to send a number of teams determined by tab staff.
Our tournament director will be Vihini Gunasekera. Our tab directors will be Joey Rubas and Humphrey Luo. Our finance director will be Joey Rubas. Our judging directors will be Maggie Mooney, Shenan Worrel, and Hannah Allen. Our logistics and housing director will be Vihini Gunasekera.
Our TO will be Jackson Neme (virtual) and our EOs will be Sahil Sud and Elena Leeds (virtual).
Reg is due by 11:59 PM on Tuesday, September 17th and will be $150.00 per in person team and $30 per virtual team. We reserve the right to drop teams who register late without a reg extension from Vihini. We are willing to discuss reg breaks on a case-by-case basis. If you want to request a reg break, contact Humphrey Luo no later than September 15. For drops without a reasonable excuse within 24 hours of the tournament, we will charge a $50.00 drop fee.
We will be enforcing a judging requirement of (n-1)/2, rounded up. Schools that fail to meet this requirement will be charged $80.00 per missing judge. Qualified judges include varsities and dinos. Novices may judge but cannot be used to meet the judging requirement. All non-dino judges must calibrate.
Registration forms are listed below. If you need to make corrections, simply submit another entry and we will use the most recent submission. Please communicate any changes after the registration deadline directly to Humphrey or Joey.
