Drop Request is an extremely sensitive topic. Please read the below [Drop Request] and check the box.
[Drop Request] Any drop request after the registration deadline will still require you to pay the full participation fee PLUS a possible nuisance penalty that the tournament charges. The penalty can be as high as $50 or more. [Public Forum] If your late drop affects your partner, you may be asked to cover your debate partner's fee. Please understand that some tournaments waive tournament fee for drops while some others don't, depending on the policy.
I understand. We will make sure there will make sure my child(ren) stay in good health, and there will be no last minute changes or drops.

Each tournament has a unique fee structure, and the fee amount for each division in this tournament is specific to this particular tournament ONLY. The overall fee consists of mandatory entry fee, school fee, cost to hire judges, and a small fee for chaperoning and coaching. The fee is obligated and non-refundable as of the stated deadline.
I understand.
[Parent Judge] *Limited Availability* This tournament accepts adults without much speech and debate experience. Contact us if you would like to judge for the tournament voluntarily. The overall fee for your child will be much lower. Please also beware that you MUST show to the round on you are assigned to as a judge ON TIME because no show or late show can cause you a penalty from the tournament host, and it can be as high as $300 per round.
Please enter me as a judge.
