3rd Annual Hornet/Wildcat Novice Scrimmage
Eagan High School
4185 Braddock Trail, Eagan MN 55123 [Map]
Bus Times
Depart 8AM from Door #7 of Edina High School
Return estimated 2-2:30PM *
* We will ask debaters to call home when they are on the road back from Eagan - should take us about 20 minutes to get back to Edina once underway. Please have a ride ready so the coaches can go home and enjoy the rest of their Saturday too.
Attending
All novice and experienced debaters. Novices will compete and experienced debaters will serve as judges/mentors for the practice rounds at the scrimmage. List for roll call will be posted Tuesday night.
Philosophy of Scrimmage
Both Edina and Eagan use this day as an educational practice. This isn't about winning or losing and we don't even want judges to do any disclosing of "wins" at all. The focus is on improvement. If you are an experienced debater, you will remember that those first rounds we so rough. Remember that feeling when you are helping novices!
Experienced debaters should watch the demo debate and disperse themselves around the room to sit with novices and help them flow.
What to Bring
* Cases and evidence
* Timer
* Paper/legal pads for flowing + pens
* Water bottle
* Wear casual school-appropriate clothing as this is a practice event
* Lunch provided (compliments of the Edina Friends of Forensics)
Parings
Mr. Clay Carlson will organize the pairing for the rounds while the demonstration debates are underway.
