2016 MDTA Novice-JV State

2016 MDTA Novice-JV State + MDTA Congress State Championship
Eagan High School [map]
December 2-3, 2016

Last updated: 12/1/2016



Our intent is to enter every eligible debater as this is the culminating tournament for all Novice and JV debaters.  If you cannot attend, you need to notify your coach ASAP.

Coaches:
Hayley, Harley, Tim, Pete, Andy, Drew and Amanda -- it's an all-hands weekend.

Bus
Friday -- Depart EPAC at 1:30, so that means you need to be dressed, ready, and on the bus no later than 1:25 - we will pick up SV students at 1:45 meeting you by the glass doors near the picture of Romi.  Return on Friday about 10PM.

Saturday -- Depart EPAC at 7AM.   Return between 5-6 after awards.  We will send the buses home after awards but some of the elim rounds run until later in the night -- for those students, parents will have to pick their kids up when eliminated.

Schedules:

Round 1 starts about 3:30PM on Friday and we finish Saturday night, later.  If you are eliminated you are welcome to have a parent pick you up if you want to go home earlier.


Congressional Debate: This will be the 5th year of Congressional Debate at the MDTA JV/Novice State Championship. All participants in Congress must be in their 1st or 2nd year of debate competition.  Congress competition will take place on Friday December 2nd and Saturday December 3rd and feature 2 full 3-hour preliminary sessions and a Final Super Congress. The number of chambers we run will be based upon entry numbers. Every 20 entries will add a chamber. The top 6 in each chamber will advance to the Final Super Congress. Up to 2 pieces of legislation should be emailed to Ross Eichele at ross.eichele@district196.org and received no later than Monday November 21st at 4:00 PM. All legislation will be posted here on Tabroom.Com no later than Wednesday November 23rd.

Varsity State Congressional Debate: The MDTA is excited to sponsor the second annual State Congressional Debate Tournament!  Running simultaneously with the MDTA JV/Novice State Tournament, schools will be able to enter up to 2 varsity congressional debaters.  Two preliminary sessions and a final session will determine the MDTA State Congressional Champion. Legislation provided by each school will be used at both the JV/Novice as well as the Varsity Congress.



General Debate Information: In Policy, LD and PF the first two rounds will be pre-set and all subsequent rounds will be powered high-low within brackets. Brackets in elimination rounds will not be broken so if two debate entries from the same school are matched up in elimination rounds, the decision of which debater will advance will be left to the school’s coaching staff. 



Policy Debate will have 5 preliminary rounds with the first 2 rounds being pre-sets and the rest being powered high/low within brackets. JV Policy Debate will break to quarterfinals and Novice Policy Debate will break to Octofinals. We will be using the national policy topic - Resolved: The United States federal government should substantially increase its economic and/or diplomatic engagement with the People’s Republic of China.



All MDTA novice topic and argument limits will be in effect throughout this tournament.



Lincoln-Douglas Debate will have 6 preliminary rounds with the first 2 rounds being pre-sets and the rest being powered high/low within brackets. In LD all 4-2 records will clear to elimination rounds. LD Debate will be single flighted at this year's JV/Novice State Tournament. In order to accommodate this action we are going to have to utilize a handful of creative competition spaces. In LD we will use the November/December Topic - Resolved: The United States ought to limit qualified immunity for police officers.




Public Forum Debate will have 6 preliminary rounds with the first 2 rounds being pre-sets and the rest being powered high/low within brackets. In Public Forum all 4-2 records will clear to elimination rounds. Public Forum Debate will be single flighted at this year's JV/Novice State Tournament. In order to accommodate this action we are going to have to utilize a handful of creative competition spaces. In Public Forum we will use the November Topic - Resolved: On balance, the benefits of the Internet of Things outweigh the harms of decreased personal privacy.

Debate Volunteers Needed




This weekend Edina will host our own debate and speech tournament, which will end up as one of the largest tournaments of the Minnesota season.   Right now we have 22 schools from Minnesota and Iowa . 

We need your help in 3 ways this weekend: 

(1)  There two teams from Iowa that are asking for help housing their debaters.  It’s a total of 12 students.  Ideally we could send them off in pairs to 6 different homes.  Your obligation is to be an overnight host, serve breakfast, and bring them to the tournament in the morning.

(2) Volunteers are needed to make the tournament work.    There are a variety of ways we need help, something should fit for every personality type. 

Use this link for volunteering either for housing or helping with the tournament -- https://t.co/Jy9EFeYt7w -- this link is on the website too. 

(3) We need judges.  It is our own home tournament and we want every single Edina debater to participate.  We will train you. Even if you’ve never judged before, this is your chance!  

Contact Joe Schmitt at jschmitt@nilanjohnson.com regarding judging. 

Thanks very much for your consideration and support.

Andy Charrier

Nov 12 @ The 2nd Annual Edina Classic


The Edina Classic
Edina High School
12 November 2016

Coach-in-Charge *
Hayley Pierce-Ramsdell
Tim Greenfield
* If you are an Edina competitor, you should go to these two people for any questions during the day.  They will be working at the table outside the tab room.

Check-in on tournament day
Everybody who is competing -- both speech and debate -- needs to check in with Hayley (and only Hayley) in room 324 by 7:30AM. She will have a clipboard and a copy of our roster.  If you are not checked in by 7:30 we are dropping you from the tournament. Once you've checked in, you need to take your materials to the common space and prep like we do at any other tournament.

Notes
  1. Nobody leaves until the building is cleaned.  As soon as you are done debating/speaking, you need to report to room 324 to be assigned clean-up jobs.  With a team our size, we should be able to having building more or less done by the time awards begin.
  2. We expect you to attend awards.  
  3. Do we want to win things? Absolutely!  But we also take the extra steps expected of hosts. For example, if you see people looking for rooms, you need to take time to graciously help our guests.  ("Never trashy, always classy.") We also need you to look out for well-being of our classrooms.
  4. Everybody competes.
  5. I need 6-8 volunteers to help with setup on Friday night.  We'll start at 4 and finish when we have the building ready for competition.  We'll provide dinner when we're done.  BUT...I only want helpers who ask, "What can I do next?"  
  6. Then I need Connie, Gloria, Uma, Leah, and Anand to be my extra-help helpers on Saturday, making one final sweep of building to make sure everything is clean.

Nov 5th @ Coon Rapids



Coon Rapids High School [directions, maps]
2340 Northdale Boulevard Northwest, Coon Rapids, MN
5 November 2016



Times:
Bus leaves Edina from the EPAC at 7AM. 
Return about 5:30PM

Coach:
Andy Charrier

Format:
Five rounds, and a final round.  Power-matched in rounds 3, 4 and 5 so points will very much matter.  Practice cases, cross-ex, and explaining your key arguments.

Notes:
Bring a timer, water bottle, extra copy of your cases, and have evidence organized in an expando.
Also, bring food.  They will have pizza for sale but don't count on that to last the whole day.

Schedule
Round 1 begins at 8:30 and awards at 5PM.

A note about entries -- We have a GIANT team and this is a weekend where we are limited in our ability to take everybody out, mostly due to lack of space in the host school.  We considered splitting between tournaments but that turned out to be impractical as well.

IF you are NOT on this list, we will make you the highest priority the next time we have to cut down the number of debaters we can enter.
