Communication Flow

Team Text Thread:

Include room number and judge name in every message
Use thumbs-up or “like” to confirm messages (avoids clutter)
For missing competitors, use their names only to locate them. Example text “Have you seen John Doe?”

Sensitive Information:

Send directly to the Communications Lead who will relay to the RC.
Examples:
- Potential compliance issues
- Any situation that could cause embarrassment

Dashboard Updates: (More to add here once review new system)

Toggle rooms in dashboard – This is the central hub that communicates to the Comms Director what’s happening in each area of the tournament.

For speech - toggle room “In Progress” when all judges have arrived

For Debate - toggle room “In Progress” when door is closed and all competitors and judges have begun
Toggle “Finished” when room ends
