Congressional Debate
A fully qualified Congress entry is an individual competitor, who has earned at least 2 bids during the 2024–2025 season.
Tournaments with TOC bids in Congressional Debate are categorized in 4 tiers:
- Tier 1 - Up to Top 6
- Tier 2 - Up to Top 16
- Tier 3 - Up to Top 60
- Tier 4 - Up to Top 120
The tiered setup provides hard caps for previously ambiguous bid levels. In the new system, the Top 6 bid level remains unchanged, while the Final, Semifinal, and Quarterfinal bid levels are capped. Only advancing competitors may receive a bid (i.e. if the top 12 clear, only 12 bids are awarded, as opposed to 16). To ensure accuracy and transparency, tiebreakers for all bid tournaments must be clearly publicized.
Tournaments are responsible for certifying their Congress bids and submitting their UKTOC bid report via Tabroom no later than March 1, 2025. After competition has concluded, a tournament administrator must enter the correct bid levels in Settings --> Rules & Results --> Points & Bids --> Save Settings, then proceed to Results --> Web Publish --> Result Sheets --> Event: Congress --> Report: TOC Bids --> Publish: Yes --> Send Bid Report to UK: Yes --> Limit to Top Places: [If Applicable] --> Generate.
