Schedule: Due to some facility limitations that we need to work around, there are some unique scheduling arrangements. We will have 4 Parli prelim rounds, semifinals, and finals. Speech will have two prelims of each pattern, finals, and a third round where appropirate. TP/LD will have 6 prelims and finals. This was intentionally structured so as to 1) keep the whole tournament at one location, 2) allow as much competition time and space as possible, and 3) keep rounds efficient and on-time, while adjusting to William Jewel's class schedules.
Attendance: All students must have a parent in attendance at the tournament unless alternative arrangements have been explicitly communicated and approved by the tournament director.
