IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS FOR TOC 2004

1.  A team or an LD debater must win at least one elimination round to be
eligible for a "ghost bid."  For example, if a tournament breaks at the
double-octos level and is a TOC qualifier at the octos level, if two
people or teams from the same school met in octos round, a ghost bid
would be awarded.  If a tournament breaks at the octos level and is a TOC
qualifier at the quarters level, if two people or teams from the same
school met in the quarters, a ghost bid would be awarded. 

2.  In team debate, you must have two qualifiers as a team to qualify for
the TOC.  If a team does not have two quals as a team, then it should
submit for an at-large bid.
