Rules of Challenge Format
Both Varsity divisions will use the challenge format for tournament pairings.

Each team/debater will debate a randomly paired single preset. Sides in the presets will be assigned by TRPC.

After the round 1 preset, teams will be broken into a “winners” bracket and a “losers” bracket and ranked based on the results of round 1. Thus, if you win your preset you are placed in the winners bracket, and if you lose round 1 you are placed in the losers bracket. Teams will be ranked according to total points, with TRPC breaking ties randomly. Starting with the bottom team on the losers bracket, a team may challenge any team above them in their own bracket. (A team in the losers bracket may not challenge a team in the winners bracket unless they are pulled over due to an uneven number of teams in the winners bracket.) 

After a team challenges, the tab room will flip a coin. If the coin flips heads the higher seed gets to pick the side, and if the coin flips tails the lower seed gets to pick the side. The winner of the coin flip will have 10 seconds to pick a side. The tab room will then announce the room number and the judge. The teams should then immediately head to the assigned room and wait for their judge.

If a team is late and misses their challenge, they will be paired against the highest seeded team available in their bracket and the higher seeded team will automatically get to pick the sides for the debate.

For each subsequent preliminary round, teams will be separated into the winners bracket or the losers bracket based on the results of their previous round, and ranked according to wins, opp wins+points, adjusted points, total points, and opp wins. Teams at the bottom of each bracket can challenge any team above them in their bracket.

Teams may NOT challenge a team/debater from their own school during prelims. Teams may NOT be forced to debate a team/debater from their own school during prelims.

During prelims a team/debater may challenge a team/debater that they lost to previously during the tournament, however, two teams/debaters may not be forced to debate twice during the prelims unless the losing team makes the challenge.  Two teams may not debate each other more than two times during the preliminary rounds.

All divisions will use the challenge format rules for elimination rounds.  In elimination rounds teams are ranked ordered according to wins, opp wins+points, adjusted points, total points, and opp wins. Starting from the top of the bracket, the top team can challenge any team below them in the bracket. If the teams have met once previously in the tournament than the teams will be on the opposite sides. If the teams have met twice previously during the tournament they shall flip for sides.

In elimination rounds, a team MAY challenge a team from their own school, but the tab room and the tournament director reserve the right to mock you for doing so.

The tournament director and the tabroom reserve the right to mock or praise any team’s challenge during the course of the tournament. 

(S)now Practice Monday Nov 10th

No practice on Monday, November 10th due to anticipated snow storm. 

If the forecast holds true, we are looking at a lot of snow tomorrow, especially in the afternoon when our coaches are trying to drive to practice.  Between that complication and parents having similar transportation challenges, we are going to cancel practice for Monday, November 10th.  Go home, have a hot chocolate and study.

14 inches. That's how much snow the @NWS says Minnesotans could see on Monday. | http://t.co/2rdJyn3VM8 pic.twitter.com/drE96PYZT4
