Friends and Colleagues,
The University of Georgia Debate Union is pleased to
invite you to the Tenth Annual Bulldog Debates which will be
held in Athens, Georgia, on March 5-7, 2004. We wish to
make this yearâ^À^Ùs Bulldog Debates an enjoyable and
instructive experience. Last year, our tournament drew more
than 70 teams from nine states. We are a TOC Qualifier at
the Semi-Final level.
There will be six (6) preliminary rounds of open and
novice, switch-side debate. The national policy resolution
will be used in both varsity and novice team debate. Entry
fees will be $35.00 per team. We expect to have a very
small pool of hired judges available. Many of our students
will be traveling to college tournaments of their own during
our tournament and their judging will be limited.
This year we will have distinct Varsity and Novice
policy debate divisions. The GHSA standards for
determination of a novice will be used if there are any
questions concerning eligibility for that division. Coaches
will still be able to enter novice teams in the varsity
division if they choose to do so. Such a decision will
preclude a team from receiving awards designated for the
novice division.
We look forward to seeing old friends and welcoming
new ones to our campus. Please call us if we can provide
you with any additional information. We hope to adhere to
the tentative schedule listed below. With the change in
date, the size of the entry may result in an amendment of
this schedule when we get closer to the tournament date.
Sincerely,
Edward M. Panetta, Ph.D. Michael Davis
Director of Forensics Tournament Director

Permanent trophies will be presented to all teams reaching
the elimination rounds. Speaker awards will be given on the

JUDGES
Each school is responsible for providing three rounds of
judging for every two debaters in the tournament, or five
rounds for every four debaters entered. HIGH SCHOOL
STUDENTS ARE NOT PERMITTED AS JUDGES. The University of
Georgia has a limited number of hired judges available at a
fee of $20.00 per round for team debate. Schools needing to
hire judges are encouraged to register early. All judging
fees will be assessed as of March 3, 2004 at 4:00 p.m.
Schools needing to hire judges after this date will be
placed on a waiting list. When we exhaust the available
supply of UGA judges we will attempt to match schools with
interest judges. Schools will be expected to pay these
contracted judges directly.
REFRESHMENT RESTRICTIONS

in the classroom, continued access to facilities requires
that we enforce this rule {SORRY!}.

not show, will be billed.
TEAM LIMITS
Presently, we are limiting entries from one school to four
teams in varsity and two teams in novice. If it is
logistically possible, we hope to remove this cap. Please
contact us early if you would like to bring more teams than
the cap allows. A waiting list will be kept for schools
desiring the bring additional debaters. If there is room
for additional teams, schools on the waiting list will be
notified after 4:00 p.m. February 26, 2004. We define a
policy debate teams as two individuals debating together.
Individuals choosing to debate alone in policy debate will
be assigned losses in those debates.
