Schools may enter up to four teams in the Regional Tournament competition, but a limit of two teams per school may qualify for the National Tournament. Teams must argue both sides of the case, although the same students need not be attorneys for both sides. Each team will try the case four times during a tournament, twice on each side. Regional Tournaments Regional qualifying tournaments will take place the last weekend in January and the first four weekends in February, 2001.
Sites are under development.
The Regional Tournament Director will assign teams to regionals at the end of the registration period, with notification before Thanksgiving. Schools may enter four teams, but no more than two teams from any school are guaranteed to go to the closest regional. If a school was in the top ten at the national tournament last year and they fielded more than one team for the regionals, they may not send more than one team to a specific regional tournament. Schools fielding more than one team may select to divide their teams among different regional sites. There are going to be approximately 16 sites.
