IMPORTANT TOC CHANGES FOR 2003

FIVE ROUNDS OF JUDGING PER TEAM OR LD ENTRY:  This year we are asking you to provide five rounds of judging for each team or LD debater. This new practice is being done to preserve the judge preference system without increasing the costs for guest judges or entry fees.  

 JUDGING PHILOSOPHIES MUST BE ENTERED ONLINE.  We're are switching from the old system of distributing the philosophies at the tournament to having each judge to post their philosophy online. If a school hires a judge, the director of debate for that school is responsible for ensuring that this occurs. PLEASE NOTE: A one hundred dollar fine will be levied on each school that does not comply with the posting of judge philosophies.  

INSTRUCTIONS FOR POSTING JUDGE PHILOSOPHIES ONLINE. 
1. Open your web browser and visit http://www.thendca.com

2. On the left hand panel, colored light green, navigate through the ^\Judge Philosophies^] link.

3. In the main window, choose which division you wish to submit your philosophy for (CX and/or LD) and navigate through the appropriate link.

4. Fill out the form on the page that appears.  If you already have a philosophy in Microsoft Word, or some other format, you can cut and paste it into the box.  Please, avoid using hard returns when typing your philosophy, unless you are planning to separate sections as the wrapping in the box is automatic.

Raaid Ahmad, Co-Webmaster of the NDCA, requests that you start sending these immedaitalty. He says "I have finals around the weekend of TOC, and posting/formatting these philosophies is a large time commitment and with a huge influx of philosophies I am expecting the week before the TOC, I believe that I may be overwhelmed.  So please, for my sake, I would appreciate it if you would submit your philosophies sooner rather than later if you plan on judging at the TOC." 

DISCLAIMER:  THE RESULTS POSTED FROM EACH TOURNAMENT ARE ALWAYS SUBJECT TO CHANGE IF THE TOURNAMENT DIRECTOR REPORTS THAT A MISTAKE WAS MADE IN THE ORIGINAL CERTIFICATION.  IT SHOULD ALSO BE NOTED THAT THE NAMES ARE SPELLED AS REPORTED BY THE TOURNAMENT DIRECTOR AND ARE SUBJECT TO CORRECTION IF A MISSPELLING HAS APPEARED.

1) TOURNAMENT DIRECTORS PLEASE NOTE: WHEN CERTIFYING THE TOC QUALIFIERS PLEASE INCLUDE FULL NAME, SCHOOL, AND STATE OF THE DEBATERS. 

2) COACHES AND DEBATERS PLEASE NOTE: EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY A DEBATER IN LD OR A TEAM IN POLICY MUST ACTUALLY PARTICIPATE IN A QUALIFYING ROUND TO RECEIVE A TOC 'BID.' IN OTHER WORDS, IF A DEBATER OR TEAM DOES NOT DEBATE THE ROUND FOR WHATEVER REASON THEY CANNOT RECEIVE A TOC 'BID' FOR THAT ROUND. THIS REQUIREMENT WAS OVERWHELMINGLY RECOMMENDED BY THE TOC ADVISORY COMMITTEE . THIS RULE HAS ALREADY BEEN ENFORCED THIS YEAR.
