Silver Public Forum Qualifying Tournaments 2018-19
NOTE for 2018-19: The non-bid methods of qualifying for the Silver PF division are being revised.
This division will feature the international teams plus teams that qualify through an expanded number of metrics.
These metrics include – (a) -Obtaining a 5-2 or better record at the previous year TOC in the Gold TOC Division. (b) -Reaching round 10 at NSDA nationals in the previous year (c) -Obtaining one regular Gold bid to the TOC (d) -Qualifying through a designated urban debate league qualifier. These qualifiers are limited to urban debate league students. Email stefan.bauschard@gmail.com for more details. (e) -Collecting two Silver bids. All tournaments that now have Gold PF TOC bids will have Silver TOC bids one level below where their Gold bid is. For example, Harvard is a octofinals bid and is now a double octofinals Silver bid. (f) -Earn 500 NSDA points (both debaters). (g) -Qualify for NSDA nationals or be one of the first two alternate teams out of your district. -Once a team meets one of these qualification metrics they can register for the TOC on tabroom.com.
If teams subsequently qualify for the Gold TOC division, their entry will simply be moved over and there will be no additional fees.
