Registration

The first stage of registration will open on the 1st of February. We'll try to make the process below as clear as possible! The main point to remember is that your team will only be fully registered upon us receiving your reg fee. With a 16 team tournament this is the only way to ensure everyone has a fair chance of entry.

- The registration fee with be €25 per debater, and €15 per judge.

- We will enforce n-1 for judges, but if institutions sending just 1 team wish to send a judge too, that is very welcome.

- Only Baltic societies may enter during the first stage of registration. For the purposes of this competition 'Baltic' will mean the three Baltic states - Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, and then any countries with Baltic Sea coastline (eg Germany, Denmark, Sweden etc).

- Each institution will be able to register 2 teams in the first stage of registration. This will be raised to 3 teams in the event that the cap is not reached.

- The second stage of registration will be opened in Late-February, here Baltic societies may register their 3rd teams if the cap is not full.

- Registration will work as follows
1) From Feb 1st onwards, email the teams you wish to register to our Reg Officer: Anna Bessonova, at helsinkidebating@gmail.com
2) If the team cap has been reached already you will be informed at this point, and placed on a waiting list if you wish.
3) If the team cap has not been filled, you will then be sent our bank details and IBAN code so that you can transfer us the reg fee. Please try to include the name of your institution as a reference when you transfer the fee.
4) You will be pre-registered for 5 days after the initial acceptance email back from us and a space will be held for your team in this time. If in that period you transfer the full fees then your status will be upgraded to full registration, and if not, then your status will lapse to unregistered, and your reserved places will be re-opened for other teams.

- A list of registered teams, and their statuses will be posted as often as possible on this website.
