Important Tournament Forms
Interactive Tournament Forms (Tournament Data Forms, Expense, Declaration of Independence)
Depending on how your browser is set up. Clicking the link may open the pdf forms instead of downloading them. You will need to save the pdf files to your computer in order to use them. The In The Cards form has a problem with the Team Choice Element 2 field. Your team may have to get creative to fill in that section of the form.
Important: The PDF forms autoscale the text to fit into the boxes on the forms. Do not put so much information into the form that it is difficult to read. ML and SL teams must complete these forms themselves. Team Managers of EL team can complete the form using (only) the words of the team.
Mid-Cities is not requiring page 3 of the Tournament Data Forms (TDF) at the tournament. It will be required at the Affiliate Tournament.

If you have any questions, you may contact the tournament director at keri [dot] murrell [at] birdvilleschools [dot] net.
Affiliate Tournament rules may differ from ours. It is the responsibility of the advancing teams to check rules at advancing tournaments. The Texas Affiliate will allow dry ice and helium in some Affiliate Tournament locations.
