Paper Ballots at Grand Finals
The Executive Committee has decided to use paper ballots for all events at FGCCFL Grand Finals. Judges may use electronic devices to time and flow, but all critiques, rankings, and decisions will be submitted in ink on paper. (Coaches and judges: Bring pens!)
An updated invitation has been posted and is also available below, along with other updated documents. Specimen ballots are available below and on the Events, Rules & Ballots page.
Rules for Electronic Devices Updated
The rules governing use of electronic devices at FGCCFL tournaments have been updated.
Phones may no longer be used as timers for students in any events. Students in events allowing laptops/tablets may use a stopwatch or timer app or an actual stopwatch/timer. This includes Presiding Officers in Student Congress.

NOTE: The invitation was updated on February 8 to correct the address of St. Petersburg High School. The address is 2501 Fifth Avenue North. It was updated again on February 13 consistent with the Executive Committee’s decision to use paper ballots exclusively at Grand Finals.
