Tab Policies
The Piney Woods Derby will adhere to the Stoa USA Transparent Tabulation Process.
- It may be necessary to employ a bye due to an odd number of competitors in a debate event. The bye will be randomly assigned for the first 2 rounds and will be assigned to the low seed for the remaining preliminary rounds.
- For Parli, the first 3 rounds will be randomly paired employing club protect 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.
- For TP/LD: Preliminary rounds 1 and 2 will be randomly paired employing club protect if possible. However, due to disproportionate club size, club protect may not be achievable. Rounds 3 through 6 will be power matched.
