Travel Criteria

· 121 students may participate at one Northwest tournament only if they qualify and within the restrictions we have set for numbers of competitors we can send to tournaments.

· 221 and 222 students are guaranteed to be able to and are expected to attend 2 tournaments each semester. We limit the number of teams that can attend any tournament except the Whitman tournament. If you wish to attend a 3^rd or additional tournaments during a semester, you will be ranked by the coaching staff based on your work output and win-loss record (and the staff reserves the right to break up teams to accomplish the best teams for determining who may attend a 3^rd or additional tournaments).*

· Students going to Northwest tournaments are expected to complete assignments, practice events, do well in classes, attend general meetings, be coachable, support the team, act appropriately at tournaments, and assist with tournaments the team hosts.

· Parli National Tournaments means that the coaching staff have determined you are working hard, attend all expected tournaments in the northwest, and that you have a good chance of breaking at the national tournament in senior division. The tournament schedule notes the maximum number of teams we are able to send at each tournament.*

· Policy National Tournaments means that the coaching staff have determined you are working hard, attend all expected tournaments in the northwest, and that you have a good shot of going 5-3 or better at the tournament in the appropriate division. The tournament schedule notes the maximum number of teams we are able to send at each tournament.*

· NPTE qualification is based on a ranking system listed at: http://npte.debateaddict.com/ (top 48 teams in the ranking system with first round, second round, and at-large bids)

· NDT qualification is based on a qualifying system listed at: http://www.wfu.edu/organizations/NDT/Documents/ndtrules.html (top approx. 76 teams with first round, regional, and second round bids).

· NIET qualification is based on receiving 3 legs with placings totaling 8 or less in an event. You receive a leg in any senior division event from a tournament with 10 or more schools competing in IEs for the top six placers (less if there are less than 12 competitors in an event). So, if you placed 3^rd, 2^nd, and 2^nd in a senior division event—you would have 3 legs with a placing total of 7. You would then qualify. NOTE-BEGINNING FALL 2005, 21 competitors must be in an event in order for it to qualify 6 legs.

· *We reserve the right to change the limits on travel based on various factors. As a whole, we will allow additional competitors to participate at tournaments only if we can reduce expenses by staying at people’s homes or if we raise unexpected additional money.
