Joining Tournaments
How you get into a team
Most of the time your school puts you in one. Open the tournament from your dashboard and your team appears once your school has entered it.
Joining with a code
In Dreams Mode tournaments you can join a team directly with an invitation code.
Get the code
From the team’s creator — usually a fellow student or your coach.
Open the tournament and choose Join team
Enter the code
You can only be in one team per tournament. If you are already placed, iRank will tell you which team you are in rather than moving you.
Being on a squad
International tournaments let a school register more speakers than debate in any one round — five, say, with three debating each time.
If you are on a squad, check the lineup before each round to see whether you are speaking. Your school sets it.
Leaving a team
Contact your school administrator. Once a round has been paired you cannot leave that round’s team, because the draw is built around it.
