Little Tournament on the Prairie
Tabulation Policies
LTOP 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.
