NFLs @ Chanhassen

Southern MN NFL Qualifiers 
Chanhassen High School [map]
24-25 January 2014

Notes about NFLs -

  1. NFLs is double-elimination tournament.  
  2. There is no power-matching in the traditional sense.  Rounds are paired based only on like-records. 
  3. 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. 
  4. 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.
