Expectations

This is a waved tournament that may or may not have flights for the debate rounds (depending on judges and rooms). Waves mean there is a round 1 A and a round 1 B and likewise for each subsequent round. Please make sure you know what events you are competing in and when those events run, either wave A or B. Pay attention since we run rounds as quickly as we can.

Before the Tournament

  1. Make sure you have a Tabroom account and you can log in and your profile (phone number and phone provider) is correct. This is how you will get notified of your rounds and if it is a synchronous event, the link to get to your virtual room. Tabroom link is provided in the button below.

During the Tournament

1

As soon as you and/or your team arrives at Fort Collins High School, head into the main entrance (the one with the tower) and find your home base in the commons area. There will be breakfast and snacks for purchase that will be easily locatable. When not in a round, you will want to be in the commons area where we will post rounds. Tabroom should also ping you if you put your cell service provider in Tabroom. Remember to have a phone, tablet, or computer so you can receive your rounds from Tabroom.

When you are alerted via text or email, please head to your room. You can find your room in Tabroom. Log in to Tabroom and click your email in the top right of the user interface. This should show your current round and where to go. Alternatively, we will post rounds on the walls of the common area.
