This tournament will feature a Novice division and a Varsity division in all events. A Novice competitor must have never competed in any high school speech or debate tournament in previous school years.</p>
<p>
Students must compete in the same division for all events (cannot compete as a Novice in one event, and Varsity in another). Exception: If a Duo team is "mixed" (one Novice, one Varsity), that pair must compete at the Varsity level. However, the Novice partner may compete as a Novice in other events.</p>

<span>Each competitor may enter up to four events, with a maximum of two in any pattern. Students entered in Extemp or Congress may enter only that event in that pattern.
