Our 2018-2019 membership list has been posted at the “Members” link above.
Tabroom Registration Updates
Tabroom has updated some features and provided additional guidance enabling us to make some improvements to our registration process. When registering for the November tournament, please keep in mind the following:
- You no longer need to count the “number of individuals attending”; Tabroom will now assess host/lunch fees as part of registration without having to recalculate. If you need additional lunches for chaperones/drivers or others who aren’t judging, add them to the judge pool under “{Other Adults}.”
- You will be asked to rate your judges as “highly qualified,” “experienced,” or “trained” in (depending on the judge category) IE, Congress, PFD, LD, and/or TD. Providing this information lets us make more effective judge assignments.
- The Congress legislation upload process has changed slightly. Your legislation authors MUST BE REGISTERED for the tournament before you can upload their legislation. Please follow the directions on the Legislation tab carefully.
NCFL Fall Meeting Minutes
The official minutes from the NCFL Fall Meeting in Milwaukee have been posted to the NCFL website. The minutes provide further detail to the notes posted here previously.
FGCCFL will incorporate the amendments to the NCFL Bylaws starting with the January tournament. With respect to Internet use, further guidance will be provided. For now, just know that this means NO IN-ROUND INTERNET at Riverview.
“Cheat Sheet” Updated
The judge “cheat sheet” (linked from the sidebar) has been updated with the November/December 2018 LD and PFD resolutions.
October Results
Results from the October 13 tournament at Dixie Hollins are available on Tabroom; click on the “Results” tab and use the dropdown and links on the right to find what you need. You will be able to access results by event, by round, or by student. The principal PDF reports from the October results are also available on this site.
All events except Congress will auto-post by October 24 for schools whose Tabroom accounts are linked to NSDA. Coaches must record Congress merit points themselves using the speaker/PO ballots or the report below.
NOTE: This is a corrected version of the report that addresses a rankings transcription error. The error in question was made after the tournament and does not affect the results announced at awards. The merit points in the original report are unaffected.
October Chamber Assignments
Congress chamber assignments, calendars, and seating charts for the October 13 tournament at Dixie Hollins have been posted on Tabroom and the Congress page.

The invitation for the November 17 All Events tournament at Riverview High School (Sarasota) is now available.

October Legislation
The docket for the October 13 All Events tournament at Dixie Hollins has been posted to Tabroom and to the Congress site.
October Extemp Topic Areas
The October Extemp topic areas (for the tournament at Dixie Hollins) have been published on Tabroom and are now available here:
- US Trade Policy and the Global Economy
- US Health Care and Public Health
- North Africa, the Middle East, and South Asia
- The President and His Staff, in Their Own Words
There are three things to keep in mind. First, while one topic area will be used for the questions in each round, this is not necessarily the order in which these topics will be presented. Second, these topic areas are intentionally broad, so don’t neglect the rest of your file.
Third, the “in their own words” in the final topic area signifies a tweet round. If you’ve never seen one of these or need a refresher, continue reading.
