Subject:        [CX-L] TOC Student Congress

UNIVERSITY OF KENTUCKY ANNOUNCES:

TOURNAMENT OF CHAMPIONS

STUDENT CONGRESS

APRIL 30, MAY 1 AND 2, 2005

STUDENT CONGRESS ADDED TO THE KENTUCKY TOC.

The University of Kentucky is adding Student Congress to its list of
debate events.  This adds another debate format to the already existing
TOC Policy Debate, Lincoln Douglas Debate, and Public Forum Debate.  This
action is being taken with the enthusiastic approval and recommendation
of the current TOC Congress Directors in Florida:  Jason Wysong and Lisa
Miller.  They hardily recommend this move to Kentucky of the tournament
in Florida which they have directed for the last three years to Kentucky.

QUALIFICATION STATUS

Students with 2 bids are guaranteed entry provided the total number of
qualified students does not exceed the cap number of 74: STUDENTS WITH
ONE BID CAN APPLY FOR AN AT LARGE.  AT LARGE BID APPLICATIONS ARE DUE IN
LEXINGTON BY 5 PM ON MARCH 1, 2005.

While at large applications must be in by March 1 we will accept fully
qualified entries through March 30, 2005.

IN ADDITION TO THE ABOVE THE FOLLOWING WILL ALSO COUNT AS QUALIFIERS

A. STATE CHAMPIONSHIPS COUNT AS ONE OF TWO REQUIRED BIDS:  The top six
contestants in a state&#8217;s Championship Tournament will receive a leg
provided that ONE of the following conditions is met:
    i. All the students attending the State Championship qualified to
that tournament                           
    through a competitive district/regional tournament or series of
tournaments.
    ii.  If a state&#8217;s championship tournament is &#8220;open&#8221;
to all contestants, there must be 48            
    or more students competing in Student Congress.

B. NFL DISTRICT STUDENT CONGRESS:  Qualification to the NFL National
Student Congress will count as one of the two required bids.

TOURNAMENT DIRECTORS MUST SUBMIT QUALIFIERS

As in all other TOC debate events, for a tournament to count as a
qualifier the director must submit to me the list of qualifiers,
otherwise that tournament cannot be used on either fully qualified
applications or at large bids..

JUDGES

Each school that participates in Student Congress must provide one
additional judge regardless of the number of Student Congress entries
from that school.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

In the near future an application with schedule and fee information will
be posted on our website
(www.uky.edu/studentaffairs/deanofstudents/debate).  In addition
applications are available through email to the executive secretary for
the TOC, Linda Barker at the following email address:  llbark0@uky.edu.

Sincerely,
JW Patterson
TOC Director and Founder
