2019 — Sherman Oaks, CA/US
Participation in this scrimmage is by invitation only. Any school that shows up that was not explicitly invited will not be able to compete.
Important Details:
- Structure: This is a 1 day, 3 round scrimmage. Depending on numbers and diversity of pool, teams may debate each other again, but will at least switch sides.
- Judging: 3rd and 4th year varsity debaters may judge in novice and 4th year varsity debaters or experienced adult judges may judge in JV. Student judges can win prizes for best ballot writing/feedback. Please make sure to instruct any judges on appropriate mentoring behavior before arriving at the tournament. There is no hired judging available so you must bring enough judges to cover your teams.
