Christmas in the Ozarks
Tabulation Policies
Christmas in the Ozarks will adhere to Stoa's Transparent Tabulation Process. For more information about Stoa's Tabulation policies and procedures, please see the Stoa Tabulation Manual.
- In the event of an odd number of competitors in a debate event, a bye will be necessary. The bye will be randomly assigned for the first two rounds and to the low seed for the remaining preliminary rounds.
- For all debate events, the first 2 rounds will be randomly paired, employing club protection if possible. However, due to disproportionate club size, club protect may not be achievable. Rounds 4-6 will be power matched, depending on number of competitors.
- Stoa NITOC tie breakers will be used to rank teams through preliminary progression.
