Room Use
This note came from the tournament director and is important for both judges and debaters.
"Our building has been largely renovated since last year and there is an important note that I would like you to share with your teams and debaters: At Valley High School, we will be enforcing a rule that debaters may not enter their room until the judge is present. This is to address teacher concerns, particularly in science rooms. We will have adult volunteers walking the halls gently but firmly enforcing this rule, and if we find any students in a science room without a judge present, the consequence will be forfeiting the debate. "
