Announcement
Santa Clara University
Fr. James J. Dempsey Invitational Tournament
December 10-12, 2004
Dear Coach:
Santa Clara University Philalethic Debating Society invites you and
your squad to participate in the Rev. James J. Dempsey SJ Invitational
Speech and Debate Tournament to be held on Friday-Sunday, December
10-12, 2004. The tournament is, as always, designed to get your
students excited about speech and debate activities outside the
classroom in a supportive, educational atmosphere.
Due to the size of recent tournaments we are once again imposing
limits on registration in debate. Schools can enter a maximum of 5
entries per division of Lincoln Douglas or policy debate. A maximum
of 5 waitlisted teams may be allowed to enter in each division based
on space availability and date of pre-registraton. Wait listed
entries participating, if any, will be notified on Tuesday, December 7
by phone and/or email. We will again offer Congress.
NOTE: In an effort to make for an earlier Saturday evening we've moved
the third round of both events to Sunday morning.
The tournament is named in honor of Fr. James J. Dempsey, S.J., long
time coach and founding member of the Northern California Forensic
Association. The tournament is named in honor of the late Rev. James
J. Dempsey, S.J., long time coach and a founding member of the
Northern California Forensic Association. Fr. Dempsey directed the
program at the University of San Francisco for many years pioneering
then experimental activities such as middle school competition, no
evidence team debating and bilingual debating for minority Chinese and
Hispanic students.
We use the September/October NFL LD topic.
Enclosed are entry forms, tournament schedules and a map of the
college campus. Entries should be received no later than Friday,
December 3. Email your registration to mjaich@scu.edu. Please, no
telephone or mail entries. Fees will be assessed at 6 p.m. on
Wednesday, December 8. Any changes or drops after December 8 will be
charged a $10 nuisance fee. All space in debate and events will be
allocated on a first come, first served basis; so fax or email your
registration early. Do not assume your teams have been accepted until
they're listed on the "confirmation list" on our outgoing phone
message or confirmed by email Thursday morning, December 9.
Schools should bring qualified judges. One judge for every two
debate teams; four Lincoln Douglas debaters/duo entries or five event
entries in your heaviest event pattern. Please call if you have
questions about your judging requirements. School will pay a judging
penalty fee per event slot, Congress entry, Lincoln Douglas/Duo Interp
or debate team not covered by school judges.
The Airport Hyatt Hotel will again be the designated tournament hotel
with a special rate for Dempsey participants with rooms for up to four
people at a $75.00 rate. Please contact the Hyatt Hotel group
reservations directly at 888.975.1234 or 408.993.1234 to make
reservations. Our contact person is Andy Toledo and he is available at
all times to make your stay at the Hyatt a pleasant one.
Santa Clara University forensics is committed to promoting high school
speech activities and we look forward to working with all of you to
make this forensic event successful.
Thank you,
Melan Jaich,
Director of Forensics

INVITATIONAL SPEECH AND DEBATE TOURNAMENT
December 10-12, 2004
Divisions, Rules and Sweepstakes
Students will compete in two divisions: Open and Novice; both
divisions will receive trophies. We reserve the right to combine
divisions for the purposes of preliminary competition if the entry
warrants. The tournament holds a sweepstakes for small and large entry
schools for overall performance and best speaker awards for team
debate divisions.
Generally we use CHSSA rules. Exceptions include: persuasive will
include both advocacy and other "persuasive" speeches, extemp is
combined national and international, we will accept hybrid debate
teams. Novice is normally defined as those students in their first
year of competition. Notes are always allowed in both divisions.
Debate judges are free to determine style questions at the beginning
of each round. Team debate must be two person.
Judges/Elimination Rounds
Schools are required to provide one judge for every two teams, four
Lincoln Douglas debaters/Congress entries/duo teams and/or five
eventers. Judges are committed to elimination rounds up to one round
past where the school drops from competition. Judges are assumed to
be experienced and prepared to judge their assigned events. Brackets
will be broken to avoid teams from the same school hitting each other.
Semifinals will be held in individual events with 50 or more entries
or at the discretion of the tournament director. Undersubscribed
events may waive finals. Debate will advance to octofinals if entry
warrants. Check the schedule at registration to determine divisions
going to octofinals. Schools who fail to check in at the judging
table when assigned may be fined the above penalties per round.
Patterns
The tournament will consist of six preliminary debate rounds and the
three preliminary rounds of events. Individual events will be divided
into two patterns.

Santa Clara, California 95053
Santa Clara University Debate, in conjunction with the Santa Clara
Speech and Debate Club, will be hosting its Annual Debate Workshop
Wednesday through Saturday, August 11-15, 2004. The program will have
3 tracks designed for Parliamentary Debate, Policy Debate and
Lincoln-Douglas Debate with an emphasis on working with novice or
junior level competitors. Coaches may take the program for a reduced
tuition.
For Policy (team) Debate the program will focus on the national topic,
affirmative and negative debate strategies, topicality and stock
issues, rebuttal strategies, and research techniques. For
Lincoln-Douglas Debate and Parliamentary Debate we will teach classes
in case construction, philosophical positions, value/criterion,
rebuttal strategies, logical fallacies, policy ramifications and
research.
We will have a round robin tournament on the final days of the
workshop for all debaters with awards for the top competitors.
The workshop will also feature experts on this year's national policy
debate topic on U.N. Peacekeeping. Speakers will cover a variety of
areas from the perspective of a professional or expert in the field.
The schedule will allow ample research time, as well as access to the
university library and computer resources. Evidence sets and briefs on
the national topic will be supplied to every four-day workshop
participant. Students will have computer lab access and use of a
lexis/nexus account for evidence.
Staff lecturers include Lisa Kawamura of Cal Poly San Luis Obispo,
Shawn Whalen of San Francisco State, Steve Clemmons formerly of
Macalester College, Ivan Oplanic of San Francisco State University and
Robert Buscho formerly of UC Riverside. We will also have college
debaters from UC Davis, San Francisco State, Santa Clara and Cal Poly
SLO assisting with critiques of debaters and judging the round robin
competition. Students do not need to have a designated or preferred
partner to participate in the workshop.
The cost for these four days of instruction, materials and evidence
