Tournament Contact Spreadsheet by Kim Hsun

This spreadsheet is a resource for anyone looking for someone to contact at a tournament in times of need. The goal of this project is to make the circuit be a safer and less hostile environment for everyone, especially for younger debaters just starting out. The circuit can be intimidating (mainly approaching debaters you don’t know) but we promise that those signed up will be happy to help you out. If you feel unsafe, need someone to talk to, or you just need a hug and someone to rant to, contact someone here and hopefully you'll get the help you need! The spreadsheet also has a judges tab to help disadvantaged debaters looking for judges around their area.
