Dear Debaters and Coaches:
Manchester High School is pleased to invite you and your students
to our twenty-second annual debate tournament on Friday and Saturday, Oct.
26-27, 2001. The tournament will offer varsity and novice competition in
policy debate and varsity competition in Lincoln-Douglas debate. We will
provide the best judging possible in both divisions, drawing from former
debaters in the Boston area. The tournament will be run with
administrative accuracy, on-time performance, and some great food and
entertainment. Various activities revolving around the Halloween theme of
our tournament will also provide amusement.
We are pleased to announce that this year, the National Tournament
of Champions has designated Manchester as a qualifier in Lincoln Douglas at
the quarterfinal level.
Based on past experience, we hope to attract over seventy-five L-D
debaters from New York, New England, and the Mid-Atlantic states. In
recent years, the varsity divisions have been highly competitive. They
will run five preliminary rounds, and clear to octofinals, unless ninety
teams enter, in which case double-octofinals will be held. Because we will
be using two schools, we will certainly be able to hold a tournament large
enough to easily accommodate all teams in each division.
INVITATIONAL INFORMATION:
DATE: Friday and Saturday, October 26 & 27, 2001
REGISTRATION: Registration should be received by Oct. 20. There will be a
limit of five Varsity teams, five novice teams, and six Lincoln-Douglas
debaters from each school.
FOOD: Dinner on Friday, breakfast on Saturday, and lunch on Saturday will
be provided at no additional cost.
