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.
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.

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.

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.

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

benefits of the Internet of Things outweigh the harms of decreased personal
privacy.
