The Fine Print

You must be a Stoa member to register. All Stoa rules and guidelines apply including Dress Code and Code of Conduct.

Students must have a parent with them to check in. Parents (or another adult) must be on-site, ready to judge.

There are a lot of judging slots to fill. We appreciate parent judges and will reward them with coffee and yummy snacks so they are ready to take a multitude of ballots.

Waitlisted? Please don't fret, we will make every effort to move you off the waitlist.

LD (& TP)

LD: Please note: We will be running the current resolution.

TP: Unfortunately, there were not enough teams to offer TP at this tournament. If you are a current TPer and would like to enter LD for this tournament, please contact the Tournament Admin. for a discount code to try LD. Welcome to the dark side.
