Dear Friends & Colleagues,
You and your students are cordially invited to attend in the 1st ever
Memorial High School TFA Qualifying Tournament on January 26-27, 2001. We
think that we are ideally located for you to experience excellent
competition from many areas of the state. We are approximately two hours
from Houston, Austin, San Antonio, and Corpus Christi. We are also
pleased to offer five preliminary rounds of both CLD & CCX debate.
Please fax your entry to the attention of Richard Colling as soon as
possible. We do not expect to have to limit entries, however entries will
be accepted on a first come first serve basis. All schools will receive a
faxed confirmation of their entry soon after entering the tournament.
Deadline for entering the tournament is Wednesday, 1/17/01. Drops made
after Monday, 1/22/01 will result in the loss of entry fee. Drops made on
or after Thursday, 1/25/01 will result in a drop fee equal to double the
entry fee. Debate drops on the day of the tournament will result in a
drop fee equal to triple the entry fee.
Should you have any questions, please contact me. It is best to contact
me via email (rcolling@tisd.net) as I currently have no phone extension
in my room. If you call, I will receive the message and return your call
as soon as possible. If you need to make any changes to your entries, it
would be best simply to fax them to me.
We are also hiring debate judges in hopes of having a 100% qualified
judging pool. Judges will be paid $15/round and housing will be provided.
We look forward to seeing many old friends and making several new ones.
Sincerely,
Richard Colling Woodrow Wagner
