Thank you for your participation in the 18^th annual Eddy Shell Invitational.

If you have any ADA concerns that you have not made us aware of already  then please email me ASAP so that we may provide accommodations. 

Registration will be in the first-floor lobby of building F.  Throughout the tournament, ballot table and the majority of prep spaces will be in building F (for those who are returning, this is the same building where we’ve been in the past; if you’re new to the tournament a campus map is available at  https://tinyurl.com/BPCC-Debates); some additional prep spaces will be located in a neighboring building.  You may park in any available faculty or student space (no reserved or handicapped spaces); if there are no spaces next to building F – there are typically numerous spaces available south of buildings D & E (see map).  On Saturday/Sunday, there should be ample parking adjacent to building F. All ballots this weekend will be paper ballots, and they may be picked up from the ballot table in building F.

As for food options on campus: on Saturday we’ll be providing free pizza at 2:00.  Also, Emilie’s Café will be set up throughout the weekend in building F near the tabroom (for those who are not familiar, snacks and drinks are available in exchange for a donation to fight childhood cancer). Multiple vending machines are also available on the first floor of building F.

Non Smoking Campus: Please note that our campus is a nonsmoking campus.  Our police department has noted that they will be ticketing violators this weekend.  If you are a smoker you must do so either 1) in your vehicle or 2) beyond the perimeter of the campus (ask at registration and I’ll point you to the nearest area).

Postings will be available online at: https://forensicstournament.net/BPCC/26

Wireless Access: Connect to BPCClink2 and use the following WIFI registration credentials: USERNAME: bpccguest   PASSWORD: saturn#99  (note – this is case sensitive and will lock-out users for 30 minutes if the incorrect credentials are entered 5 times within 15 minutes).

Coaches’ Check: Coaches’ check will be in F-203 (early coaches’ check will be during round 4 of team debate / round 6 of individual debate).  Once early coaches’ check begins, the ballot review tab in FTN will be active so that results can be seen as they are entered.
