Compete

If you’re an eighth grader or high schooler, you’re eligible—period. We don’t want bureaucracy to be your barrier to education.

Competing Rules (in addition to what’s outlined on the Rules tab)

  1. Our rules are largely derived from the rules of the American Mock Trial Association (AMTA) and the MockOn Tournament of Champions. We encourage all contestants to apply for MockOn’s tournament in May; we formed this organization in partnership with them. We are not affiliated with AMTA.

  2. We permit eighth graders to compete alongside high school students. The top eighth grade contestants will be recognized during the individual awards portions of our closing ceremonies.

  3. We charge no entry fees for competitions. However, we require all contestants to 1) have at least four members on their rosters at the time of submission and 2) provide a judge for all four rounds of every competition they enter.

  4. Participation is a privilege, not a right. IMT reserves the right to deny participation to any student at any time, pursuant to rules outlined on our Rules tab.

Our competition takes place at 6 PM Pacific, 6 AM and 6 PM Pacific, and 6 AM Pacific. The awards ceremony will follow round 4. If our entries warrant, we’ll have a recorded showcase/championship round after the awards ceremony.

Make sure your competitor entry form is submitted no later than one week before the tournament deadline, and that your judges have been submitted no later than the Monday before the tournament deadline.
