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.
