Imagine a world where every student finds their voice and confidently engages with society’s greatest challenges.
The NSDA is uniquely positioned to take on challenges that other national organizations aren’t structured to address. Their people and innovative leadership set a standard that is hard to match.
Ask any coach who has gone through their training—it’s truly state-of-the-art, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in education. Their vision plays a vital role in expanding speech and debate opportunities across the country, and they have the expertise and dedication to make it happen.
If the NSDA could reach every school across the nation, the impact would just blow up. It would be amazing!
- Requirements: On the General tab of your school’s registration in Tabroom.com, you must enter the information of your school’s coaches in the “Your Coaches & Contacts” section.
- Tabroom.com Accounts: Contacts must have Tabroom.com accounts before they can be added.
- Deadline: You can update this list of coaches and their designations any time before May 15.
- Designations: At least one school contact must be listed. At least one on-site contact must receive tournament emails. At least one contact must be on-site and have a phone number in Tabroom.com. This helps to ensure we can reach you in the case of an emergency!
- These conditions must be met before you can move on to accepting/rejecting your entries or adding judges. Refresh Tabroom.com once coaches are added, and the additional tabs will appear at the top of your school’s registration page.
- To Add a Coach: Select an adult listed on your school’s Tabroom.com coach or judge roster by using the dropdown, or add them via their Tabroom.com account email address. Once they have been added, designate their roles.
- Degree: This column will list the NSDA ID and/or diamonds that correspond to each coach. Diamonds will be represented on the coach’s name badge if they attend the National Tournament. If a coach’s NSDA ID is incorrect or missing, email the national office for assistance!
- School Contact: The coach(es) designated as school contacts are the ones that tournament officials will reach out to in case of problems with the school’s registration and problems or emergencies during the tournament. Only coaches with a phone number listed in their Tabroom.com profile can be listed as school contacts.
- Emails: The coach(es) designated as receiving emails will receive a copy of tournament communications that are relevant to the school.
- On Site: Designate coaches that will be in Des Moines with your students this summer in this column! Only coaches designated as on site will receive a printed name badge on registration day.
- Listed on Digital Roster: Every year, a digital roster of the schools, coaches, and students attending the National Tournament will be made publicly available online. All coaches are listed on the digital roster by default; this column allows you to remove a coach from the digital roster. Check out the digital roster from the 2024 National Speech and Debate Tournament!
- March 15: This is the earliest a school can begin registration. When registration opens for your district, coaches with qualifiers will receive an email alerting them that online Tabroom.com registration for Nationals is open for their school. Coaches may only register after their entire district tournament series has been completed and their district chair has finalized results.
- May 15: Late elimination round judge nominations are due. Nominate your qualified judges in Tabroom.com or encourage your judges to self-nominate to judge late elimination rounds at Nationals.
- May 15: All National Tournament registration materials and payments are due. This includes payment, initial script uploads, the final list of judges you will bring to the tournament and the number of days they will judge, judge paradigms, certification judges have completed the required training and forms, and entry details. Coaches must enter points and service citations by this date in order to receive recognition of diamonds and service citations at this year’s National Tournament.
- May 22: Refund deadline. Changes to your entry made between May 15-22 are eligible to receive a 50% refund. No refunds for entry changes will be made after May 22.
- June 1: Alternates registration is due. After June 1, alternates are no longer brought up if a qualifier denies their spot.
- June 15: Final script uploads are due on Tabroom.com.
