Dear Friends and Colleagues,

The Lincoln East Debate Team, parents, and coaches invite you to attend our 36th Samuelson Sweeps Debate Tournament on Saturday, January 14, 2023. We plan to be IN PERSON this year. However, given our luck with the weather in the past, we may shift to online if necessary. We will keep you updated!

For three decades the Spartan Invitational has provided challenging competition in a wide range of forensic events, and this year's tournament will be no exception. We offer competitive experiences in Baldwin-X (LD), Cross-Examination, and Public Forum Debates, as well as Student Congress.

We want to treat you and your students to the best overall tournament experience possible. We offer a well-run, on-time tournament with good judging, and fun awards.

If you have questions about the 2023 Samuelson Sweeps, please don't hesitate to contact us. Good luck as the season progresses, and we look forward to seeing you in January!

John Holen

Director of Debate
