Debate Round Prep Overview

What should I look for when preparing a debate round?

Be sure you are matching the correct round.
Double check when you should start power matching based on the number of teams in that style of debate.
After matching, check for reasonableness in the matches by reviewing any repeats and promos/sandbags. If there is a bye, make sure it has been assigned to a team in the lowest win-loss bracket unless unavoidable.
Check all matches for proper side balance.
Make sure Build Ballots from this Match creates ballots that appear to have the right number of matches and (for Value debate) that flights are well-balanced.
Be sure to release ballots to the Ballot Admin team on time.
Prepare Wall postings for in-person tournaments and have ready for the Communications Lead no later than 30 minutes before the scheduled start of the round.
