Costs:
$35/student for debate
Payment by Stripe is required by the close of registration in order to keep your spot in your events.
Special Notes about Waitlists:
If an event is full, please go ahead and sign-up on the waitlist. Many times we are able to accommodate people on the waitlist.
- Students that can provide multiple judges will be given priority.
- Competitors (LD) or teams (TP) that have both partners registered/waitlisted the earliest will be given secondary priority.
Registration is considered complete when:
The competitor (Lincoln Douglas) or both competitors (Team Policy) are registered.
Parent judge registration is completed. See Parents' Page
Payment is received by Stripe
Late Fee
+ If there is a waitlist, you will be dropped from your event if you have not completed payment or have a "parent" judge registered by the end of registration on January 22nd.
+ If there is not a waitlist and you wish to compete but did not pay or have a "parent" judge registered by the end of registration on January 22nd, a late fee of $15 will be added to your balance and you must complete these steps ASAP. Failure to do so will result in being dropped from the events.
Refund/Dropped Event Policy
Cancellations prior to the close of tournament registration on January 22nd will garner a full refund minus any Stripe fees. There will be NO REFUNDS after registration closes.
January 23-29: A dropped event will cost $15
January 30- February 4: A dropped event will cost $20
February 5- February 8: A dropped event will cost $25
February 9: A dropped event will cost $30
February 10: A dropped event at the door will cost $35
Please contact us for extenuating circumstances.
Drops create a domino effect of extra work for our volunteer staff because they affect room allocation, judging needs, and awards orders. Thank you for understanding!
TROUBLE DURING REGISTRATION AND LOGGING BACK IN
You will need your affiliate number to register
When you registered with Stoa this year, you were issued an affiliate number. You can find your affiliate number on your confirmation email or on the Review and Pay page where you registered Stoa membership.
During Registration, "Not a Stoa Member" Error Message pops up
All registrants are required to be Stoa members in order to register for this tournament. In order to ensure this, the F5 Shiver Fest Tournament website will use your affiliate number to verify your membership. If you realize you have not registered as a Stoa member, you may do that at Stoa membership.
