The Policy Debate Division
We will offer Varsity and Junior Varsity divisions of two-person,
switch-sides, cross-examination debate on the national topic, with 8-3-5
format and 8-minute preparation time for Varsity teams; 10 minutes for
Junior Varsity. Each division will have six preliminary rounds. Both

We will offer Varsity and Junior Varsity divisions of Lincoln
Douglas debate and will feature six preliminary rounds breaking to
octo-finals (doubles if numbers permit) in both divisions. There will be
three minutes preparation time. The topic will be the Sept/Oct NFL.
Awards will be presented to each student who reaches the elimination
rounds. A complete schedule is attached.
The Speech Division
Each school may enter a maximum of 6 students in each individual
event. Any one individual may enter up to three events. The tournament
is designed to encourage new students to gain experience and enter mutiple
events. However, it will be the responsibility of the student to attend
all rounds in a timely manner. A student who misses a round in an event
will be disqualified from elimination rounds in that event. Students
should notify judges of multiple entries.
Three preliminary elimination rounds will be held. Breaking for
elimination rounds will be determined by (1) total ranks, (2) points, (3)
high/low ranks, (4) total numbers of ones.
Each school must provide one judge for every five competitors with
a duo team considered as one entry. Ballots for preliminary rounds will
be given to the coach at registration. It will be the responsibility of
the coach to see that all judging requirements are met. Any round not
covered by a judge will result in a $100 fine or disqualification of all
students from that school entered in the tournament. For all elimination
rounds we will be using three-judge panels. Therefore, each school will
be required to cover at least one round past the elimination of their last
student.
Awards will be presented to all students reaching the final round.
Certificates will be provided to those reaching the semi-finals.
