In order to be eligible for the&nbsp;<strong>Novice division in Policy</strong>, debaters must&nbsp;not have competed in any high school&nbsp;<strong>debate</strong>&nbsp;tournament in previous school years (speech or congress participation ok).&nbsp;In cases where partners are &quot;mixed&quot; (one Novice, one Varsity), that pair must compete at the Varsity level.&nbsp;In order to be eligible for the&nbsp;<strong>Novice division in Congress or either Extemp,&nbsp;</strong>competitors must not have competed in any high school speech or debate tournament in any event in previous school years.&nbsp;</p> <p>Competitors entered in Policy Debate can only enter that event. Students can double&nbsp;enter in Congress and EITHER IX or NX. &nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Judges:</strong>&nbsp;Each school is required to bring 1 judge for every four students, or part thereof. The required number of judges for debate must be present throughout the entirety of debate rounds. The required number of judges for Congress must be present throughout the entirety of Congress rounds. The required number of judges for Extemp must be present throughout the entirety of Extemp&nbsp;rounds. <strong>Example</strong>: A school has 2 Policy teams, 4 Congress students, and 2 Extempers.
