> Dear Colleagues,
> Pepperdine University is pleased to announce the 1st Annual
> Pepperdine Invitational Debates to be hosted on our campus on September 28,
> 29, and 30. The tournament will offer six preliminary rounds of C-X debate
> as well as appropriate elimination rounds in a varsity division. The
> preliminary rounds will be held on the main Malibu Campus with the
> elimination rounds held at the Pepperdine University Law School (which is
> also on the main campus and less than a * mile from the prelim buildings).
> The tournament hotel for the tournament is the Warner Center Marriott in
> Woodland Hills. I strongly urge you to stay at the Marriott. The Marriott is
> an outstanding facility. I have managed to secure a tournament rate of $82
> per night for up to 4 people per room. We have reserved a block of 70 rooms.
> The block expires a month before the tournament. You can make reservations
> now by calling the Marriott directly at 818-887-4800 and asking for the
> reservation desk. The rooms are reserved as a block under the name
> "Pepperdine University Debate Department". You should make reservations as
> soon as possible. If our block fills or you attempt to make reservations
> after the block has closed, your options will be very limited and quite
> expensive, as hotels in Malibu can fill up quickly in September.
>
> We are pleased to be able to host a high school tournament at Pepperdine
> this fall. Although we hosted a round robin last year, this will be the
> first invitational that will involve our whole campus. Please be aware that
> Pepperdine is a SMALL school. We will take entries on a first come basis,
> but will limit entries to 3 teams per school. Additional entries will be
> placed on a waiting list in the order they arrive. Last year we had 90 teams
> at our college tournament and it will be difficult for us to accommodate a
> substantial increase in teams. Enter early!
>
> As one of the few debate only tournaments in the West we strongly encourage
> your participation. The weather in Malibu in late September should be quite
> nice. Our schedule is such that there will be time Friday morning and in the
> evenings to enjoy the beaches and other sites in and around the Malibu area.
> Although this is our first foray into hosting a high school tournament, we
> have been running college tournaments here for years and folks seem to
> really enjoy themselves at our tournaments. We sincerely hope you are able
> to join us on our campus in October.

> Tournament Information
>
> Transportation Information: The closest airport is Los Angeles International
> Airport, although Burbank is also relatively close as well. Obviously,
> almost every major airline in the country flies to L.A. and I have found
> ticket prices to be relatively reasonable to and from LAX. The hotel and
> campus are approximately 45 minutes north of LAX. Unfortunately we cannot
> provide local transportation, but there are a variety of rental car agencies
> available at the airport. The Marriott is located just off the 101
> Interstate. From the airport take the 405 freeway North to the 101
> North/West. Exit the 101 on Topanga Canyon North (which should be the 10th
> exit on the 101) and go right. Proceed approximately a mile until you reach
> Oxnard. Turn right. The hotel will be visible from Topanga Canyon Road.
>
> The University is located at the Corner of Malibu Canyon Road and the
> Pacific Coast Highway. To get to campus from the Hotel, take the 101
> West/North towards Ventura. Exit on Malibu Canyon Road and turn left. The
> campus is about 8 miles from the 101. The drive through the canyon is
> beautiful, but a little curvy. Please be careful! Plan on the trip taking
> half an hour. It should be less but traffic can be bad through the canyon
> and on the 101. When you arrive on campus, stop at the information booth to
> receive directions to the buildings on campus. The majority of the debates
> will be on lower campus.
>
> Airfare Discount: We have arranged for a 10% discount on Southwest Airlines
> already low fares for travel to the tournament. You or your travel agent may
> call the Southwest Airlines Group and Meetings Reservations at
> 1-800-433-5368 and reference ID Code R6834 to receive this discount.
> Reservations must be made 5 or more days prior to travel to take advantage
> of this offer.
>
> Campus Policies: The Pepperdine Campus is a smoke-free campus. There is no
> smoking in ANY building on campus. PLEASE abide by this policy so that we
> may continue to use these facilities in subsequent years. The Pepperdine
> campus is also a drug and alcohol free campus.
>
> Entry Information: Entries will be taken by phone at 310-506-4524 (note I
> have voice mail), by fax at 310-456-3083, or by email at:
> greg.achten@pepperdine.edu .I encourage you to enter by email. When entering
> please tell me the first and last names of your competitors (obviously
> divisional information is unnecessary since there is only one division). If
> you enter by fax or email, please include your email and phone number so I
> can respond to you with any questions or comments. All fax and email entries
> will be confirmed by email. The deadline for entries is noon on Tuesday
> October 20th.
>
> Tab Room: The tab room will be run by Chuck Ballingall of Damien as well as
> Dr. Jon Bruschke of CSU Fullerton.
>
> Fees: Fees will be $75 per team.
>
> Judging: Each school is expected to provide one judge per two teams they
> bring. Each judge will be obligated for one round beyond the elimination of
> their team. We have some hired judges that we can provide, but not many.
> Hired judges will be given on a first come, first served basis at a fee of
> $80 per uncovered team. We are not trying to make money on hired judges. We
> would much rather have your judges than your money. If you have extra judges
> available from your school please let me know as we will probably like to
> hire them. All judges are expected to render a decision in a timely fashion
> and designate one, and only one, team as the winner of the debate.
