2020 Sheboygan North Raider Rumble

November 21, 2020

NSDA Campus

The 2020 Raider Rumble is hosted by Sheboygan North High School. The tournament is a WDCA-sanctioned event where all applicable rules of play and conduct apply. The tournament will offer junior varsity and varsity Public Forum and Lincoln Douglas as well as novice and varsity Policy Debate. The tournament director holds the right to collapse divisions that are not viable on their own. Students can debate as mavericks (by themselves) and win.

Judge Obligations:

1 judge per 2 VCX/NCX and 1 judge per 2 LD/PF entries or any fraction thereof. To the extent possible LD and PF -1 judge may cover 1 LD and 1 PF entry. We will have separate LD and PF judging pools but, if numbers call for it, we may have some crossover in the pools. We will assume the judge can judge both LD and PF unless specified otherwise in the team's registration.

Registration:

The registration deadline is WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 18TH AT 11:30 PM. Registration fees are locked as of November 18th at 11:30 pm. Nuisance fees of 10 dollars will apply to changes (e.g. late registrations, drops, etc.) made after 12pm Friday, November 20th. You are able to change names and drop entries until Friday, November 20th at 11:30 PM.

If you do not bring the required number of judges, the tournament reserves the right to charge you $100 per missing judge or de-register your teams until you have judges to cover your judge obligation. We will do our best to have extra judges, but you should expect few - if any - extra judges available.
