The delegations should register here.
The judges and observers should register here.
Teams should consist of three to five members. Every delegation needs to come with at least one judge or observer who is over 18 years old. This person will be responsible for the team, and all the communication with the organizers.
The tournament applies N-1 rule. Every delegation needs to send at least as many judges as number of teams sent minus one (i.e. 1 team – 1 judge/observer; 2 teams – 1 judge; 3 teams – 2 judges; etc.). If the delegation is unable to provide sufficient number of judges, the delegation must pay additional fee of 150€. However, the registration fee will be reduced for any delegation that shall bring more than the required number of judges.
Fees
| Debater | 160€ |
| Judge | 100€ |
| Observer | 200€ |
| N-1 fee (for each missing judge) | 150€ |
Delegations will be required to pay registration fees in full by 5th of September. Any delegation that fails to make payment by 5th of February will be struck from the tournament and its place will be re-allocated.
How to register
Registration form for delegations (head of delegation and teams) can be found here. The head of delegation, however, also need to register as a judge or observer as well (additional form). Registration will be closed on 1st February. On 2nd February, every delegation shall receive an email with confirmation of registration and further instructions. Registration forms for judges and observers can be found here.
Selection key
Since we want BSDC to be as diverse as possible, a selection process will be adopted. While registering, you should state your preference by adding a letter behind the name of the team (e.g. Slovakia A, Slovakia B, etc.).
We will use the following key to assign places to international teams:
- Preference to teams will be given according to the rank with which they were registered. As such, every country will be guaranteed a spot for their first team. (So we firstly register all A teams, then B teams, C teams etc.)
- Preference is given to teams from delegations that are able to bring a higher number of their own adjudicators. (It means that the C team from delegation that has registered 3 judges will be preferred to the C team from delegation that has registered 2 judges)
- If there are more teams than free spots remaining, spots will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.
