Registration is online at Georgiana Hays Invitational on Joy of Tournaments.
Georgiana Hays Invitational 2014
The third annual Hays Invitational took place at Prospect High School on Saturday, May 17, 2014. Georgiana Hays was a Prospect High School teacher and forensics coach who led Prospect's program to nationals twice. At a tournament hosting some of the best debaters in the nation, it is fitting that her name should adorn the trophy.

Key Rules
1. Parliamentary will loosely follow CHSSA rules. Points of Information are permitted (at speaker's discretion) in the constructive speeches except during the first and last minute of each speech. Points of Order are allowed in the final speeches. The speaking times are 7PM-7LO-7MG-7MO-5LO-5PM. Debaters will strike from a list of three resolutions and prepare at their rooms. The negation strikes first. Laptops (and coaches) may be used during prep, but not in-round.
2. Public Forum will follow NFL rules. The April resolution will be used in all rounds. The use of laptops is allowed, but wifi must be turned off during rounds. Speech times: 4A1-4N1-31CX-4A2-4N2-32CX-2A1-2N1-3GCX-2A2-2N2
3. The first round will be randomly paired. The next four rounds will be power-matched H/H and L/L.
4. The tournament will be single-flighted unless there are not enough rooms available to permit doing so. In that case, we will use a double-flight schedule.
5. Finals rounds will be hidden-elimination; most rooms will have a round as usual, but one room in each division will pit the top two teams against each other in front of a panel of judges.
6. During online registration, schools will be required to register their judges by name. Each debate team of two students will be required to have one corresponding judge, as several rounds will have panels of judges.
7. Judges must remain on campus for all five rounds, and sign in prior to each round. A failure to do so may result in penalties to affiliated schools.
8. The top two teams and speakers in each division receive awards. All participants earn NFL points. POI points will be awarded in Parliamentary debate.
