Maine East Debate
    
                        December 14, 1999

Dear Colleague:

    On behalf of the Maine East H.S. Debate Team and Maine East High School, we
would like to invite you to the Sixth Annual Maine East Debate Tournamente
(Regatta).  It will take place on February 18-20, 2000.  Last year we were able
to host 56 teams in the open division and 48 teams in the novice division. 
Glenbrook North H.S. defeated Nicolet H.S. in the open division while Glenbrook
South H.S. defeated Evanston H.S. in the novice division.  Please note our
tournamente has six preliminary rounds in both divisions.  We hope that you and
your squad will be able to attend.

Dates:      Friday through Sunday, February 18-20, 2000

Place:      Maine East High School
        2601 W. Dempster
        Park Ridge, IL 60068

Tab Room:   As they did last year, Linda Oddo of New Trier, Matt Whipple of
Glenbrook South, and Tim Alderete of East Grand Rapids will be supervising our
tab staff.

Events: We will be offering a Novice Division (first year debaters) and an Open
Division in cross examination style switch side debate.  The format will be
8-3-5 with 8 minutes prep time.  There will be six preliminary rounds with four
powered rounds.  Elimination rounds will begin with octo finals or partial
doubles if numbers dictate.

Topic:  Resolved:  That the federal government should establish an educational
policy to significantly increase academic achievement in secondary schools in
the United States.

Awards: Top eleven speakers in each division and all elimination round
participants.

Chaperones: Each school must be supervised by an official coach or assistant
coach

Judging:    Each school will be required to provide one judge for every two
teams entered in the tournamente.  High school students must have at least 3
years debate experience to judge the novice division.  Judges are obligated one
round beyond the furthest advancing team from their school.  A limited number
of hired judges will be available at a rate of $80.00 per team.

Fees:   $40.00 per team.  Please make checks payable to Maine East High School.

Lodging:    Limited housing is available for teams needing to stay overnight.
