Southern MN NFL Qualifiers
Chanhassen High School [
map]
24-25 January 2014
Notes about NFLs -
- NFLs is double-elimination tournament.
- There is no power-matching in the traditional sense. Rounds are paired based only on like-records.
- The fields will be small in both LD and Policy, so be 100% mentally ready to have your hardest, most important debate of the tournament right away in round 1 -- things like that happen in this format.
- Resiliency matters. You might get a disappointing loss, then have to turn right around and win. You might also think you are eliminated but get the chance to make nationals via a debate-back. Nationals is all about being mentally tough, and districts already brings out that challenge.
