How many Oral Rounds will my Team compete in during a Qualifying Tournament?
Each team participating in a Qualifying Tournament (National or Regional competition) will participate in four Preliminary Oral Rounds, pleading twice as Applicant and twice as Respondent. However, if four (4) or fewer teams are participating in a Qualifying Tournament, the ILSA Executive Director may allow each team to participate in less than four Preliminary Oral Rounds. If there are any Advanced Rounds in the Tournament, and your team advances, it will compete in one (1) additional Oral Round each time it advances. The Advanced Rounds in a Qualifying Tournament may include Quarterfinal, Semifinal, and Championship Rounds, depending upon the number of teams competing in the Tournament and subject to the Administrators discretion. For more information, please see the Official Rules, which are released each August.
