TabDesk gives a tournament one phone number for questions, sending routine answers by text and routing other issues to tab staff as organized cards.

Speech and debate tournament leagues and tab staff
Worth noticing
The page says its line can ask at most two short follow-up questions before turning a conversation into a staff card.

Field notes

The described workflow separates routine venue questions from issues that need a person: maps, WiFi, and walking directions can be answered from host-entered information, while other conversations enter a staff queue. The page says host schools provide that information through a link and can reuse saved venue details at later tournaments. It also says staff can claim a card, reply by text, page a judge, or message the full staff.
