Video Release Form 2015
Please submit one form per student by the start of the tournament
I hereby give my permission, as the parent/legal guardian of the participating student named below, to the
Tournament of Champions (TOC) hosted by the University of Kentucky Debate Program for the collection, use,
and reproduction of video footage, photographs, and/or voice recordings of this student. I understand that the
use of this video will be for educational and/or historical preservation purposes by the TOC. The signature
below indicates my permission for the TOC to use video footage recorded for the project described below:
We are excited to announce our new video archive. Starting this year, we will video record every final
round and house it on our website. We will also attempt to record as many other elimination rounds as
possible.
As the practice of debaters recording their own debates is quickly spreading,
we also welcome any debaters or schools that want to contribute their own footage to our archive.
I understand that video may be posted on the TOC website video archive.
There is no obligation for students, coaches, or judges participate in the video archive. You have to opt-in to
participate. Any student for whom we do not receive a video release form will be treated as having opted out.
We will not publicly post or distribute any video for which we do not have video release forms for all
participants in the video.
You may mark YES for your child to participate or NO to decline their participation:
Yes, video of this student may be used by the TOC for the above project
No, video of this student may not be used by the TOC for the above project

At-Large Application Form Instructions
Instructions for all events:
1. Please fill out each form completely. We still need you to fill out the school information sheet
at the top of this document, even if your school is only applying for an at-large.
2. For all events, 1 bid is required for application.** For the Speech, no bids are required, but
reaching finals at notable tournaments is expected. Please use the Congressional
Debate/Speech form.
3. The At-Large application fee is $50, nonrefundable, and is due by the application date. If
your application is selected, this fee will be applied towards your entry fees. Do not send any
entry fees or extra lunch fees with your at-large fee. This will save both you and us extra
paperwork. Unfortunately, we cannot accept cash. Please make checks payable to “UK Debate
Tournaments”.
4. Each coach may submit a ONE page letter in addition to this form detailing any additional
information that she or he thinks would be useful in helping the Advisory Committee rank the
at-large applicants. Please include it at the same time as this application.
5. ALL tournaments must be included with the team’s record. Failure to include all tournaments
may result in denial of the at-large application.
