Financial Hardship Waiver:
Programs facing significant budget restrictions may discuss a financial hardship membership and/or entry fee waiver with a member of the LPDL board.

Entry Limit (*New for LPDL #3-4*):

In an effort to encourage participation across both IPDA and Parli, promote diversity in opponents and avoid excessive BYE or intra-squad rounds, the LPDL board has determined that a 6-entry limit will be placed on entries in each debate format (max of 6 in IPDA, max of 6 in Parli).
