STUDENT CONGRESS ADDED TO THE KENTUCKY TOC.

The University of Kentucky has added Student Congress to its list of debate
events.  This adds another debate format to the already existing TOC Policy
Debate, Lincoln Douglas Debate, and Public Forum Debate.  This action is
being taken with the enthusiastic approval and recommendation of the current
TOC Congress Directors in Florida:  Jason Wysong and Lisa Miller.  They
hardily recommend this move to Kentucky of the tournament in Florida which
they have directed for the last three years.

QUALIFICATION STATUS

Students with 2 bids are guaranteed entry provided the total number of
qualified students does not exceed the cap number of 74: STUDENTS WITH ONE

IN ADDITION TO THE ABOVE THE FOLLOWING WILL ALSO COUNT AS QUALIFIERS

that ONE of the following conditions is met:
    i. All the students attending the State Championship qualified to that
tournament         
    through a competitive district/regional tournament or series of
tournaments.
    ii.  If a state¹s championship tournament is ³open² to all contestants,

TOURNAMENT DIRECTORS MUST SUBMIT QUALIFIERS

As in all other TOC debate events, for a tournament to count as a qualifier
the director must submit to me the list of qualifiers, otherwise that

JUDGES

Each school that participates in Student Congress must provide one
additional judge regardless of the number of Student Congress entries from
that school.
