Two school contacts are required for tournament participation. Please check your school registration on Tabroom.com to make sure you have two adults listed who we can contact in the event of an emergency. If only one coach is attending, it can be a parent, administrator, coach at another school, district leader, etc. Add a second contact now to avoid getting stopped at registration!

Food is also available for cash-only purchase at each school (meals are $5 for adults over 18). Meals at the Crowne Plaza, the University of Louisville, and the Kentucky Expo Center will only be available for purchase; cash is highly preferred at these venues. Teams can travel to any of the schools with free food for breakfast and/or lunch.
If a student 18 or younger has a food allergy, please instruct them to email this form to leela.ortiz@speechanddebate.org by 11:59 a.m. CT on Friday, June 3. The form must be completed by a medical provider and must include a stamp from the medical provider/facility in the lower right corner. This email address was incorrectly published last week.
