Ask Before You Capture
We understand that family and friends may want to take pictures or record video during some speech and debate rounds. Because most of our competitors are minors, we ask that you get permission before photographing or recording any student:
- Speech events: ask the competitor's parent.
- Debate rounds: ask the parents of every competitor in the round.
No Live Streaming
Live video streaming of any event during the tournament is prohibited.
Thank you for helping us protect our students' privacy!
