Subject: Maine East Invitation
This is from Wayne Tang, not me. Please respond to him.
Dear Colleague:
On behalf of the Maine East H.S. Debate Team and Maine East High School, we
would like to invite you to the Seventh Annual Maine East Debate Tournament
(Regatta). It will take place on February 23-25, 2001. Our tournament has
been designated as a finals level qualifier for the Tournament of Champions.
Although snow decimated, last year we were able to host 42 teams in the open
division and 28 teams in the novice division. Evanston H.S. defeated Appleton
in the open division while East Grand Rapids H.S. defeated New Trier H.S. in
the novice division. Please note our tournament has six preliminary rounds in
both divisions. We hope that you and your squad will be able to attend a
hopefully snow and misdemeanor free tournament.
Dates: Friday through Sunday, February 23-25, 2001
Place: Maine East High School
2601 W. Dempster
Park Ridge, IL 60068
Tab Room: As they did last year, Linda Oddo of New Trier, Matt Whipple of
Glenbrook South, and Tim Alderete of East Grand Rapids will be supervising our
tab staff.
Events: We will be offering a Novice Division (first year debaters) and an Open
Division in cross examination style switch side debate. The format will be
8-3-5 with 8 minutes prep time. There will be six preliminary rounds with four
powered rounds. Elimination rounds will begin with octo finals or partial
doubles if numbers dictate.
Topic: Resolved: That the United States federal government should
significantly increase protection of privacy in one or more of the following
areas in the United States: employment, medical records, consumer information,
search and seizure.
Awards: Top eleven speakers in each division and all elimination round
participants.
Chaperones: Each school must be supervised by an official coach or assistant
coach
Judging: Each school will be required to provide one judge for every two
teams entered in the tournament. High school students must have at least 3
years debate experience to judge the novice division. Judges are obligated one
round beyond the furthest advancing team from their school. A limited number
of hired judges will be available at a rate of $90.00 per team.
Fees: $40.00 per team. Please make checks payable to Maine East High School.
Lodging: Limited housing is available for teams needing to stay overnight.
