OTHER TOURNAMENT INFO:
- There is a lot of downtime in between your rounds and the tournament’s location on Nicollet Mall means that students can go beyond the hotel for lunch. But they must text or email Coach Tim when they are leaving, who they are leaving with, and when they return (612 470 2596). No student may leave alone. No exceptions to this rule. Any student caught leaving the hotel without record will be dropped immediately from the tournament and sent home.
- Be mindful of the weather. If you decide to walk around outside on Nicollet Mall, please wear a jacket and gloves. It’s not supposed to be bad weather like it was last year, but please be responsible.
- Students must stay between 8th street and Grant St on Nicollet
Mall.
- Students must exercise caution when bringing valuables with them
and leaving valuables behind at the Hyatt.
- Debates in PF, LD, and Policy mostly take place in hotel
rooms. Please be respectful of these
spaces.
- There will be a concession stand at the Hyatt if you want to stay
at the hotel. Restaurants within walking
distance include Caribou, Chipotle, Panera, Qdoba, and Jimmy Johns.
- Please check the Edina Debate Twitter for scheduling updates.
