Coaches and Competitors,

You are officially invited to participate in the 2014 Sioux Falls Roosevelt Sweetstakes Tournament!  Registration is open!  This year we will be making a few changes.  First, we have moved the location of registration.  If you have any questions about registration, please don’t hesitate to e-mail me: Luke.Cumbee@k12.sd.us  

A second change this year is the schedule.  This year we will be introducing elimination rounds to both Novice LD and Novice Public Forum (you can find the full schedule to the right).  Novice Policy will do 5 preliminary rounds without a final.  Another change in the schedule is the elimination of a Friday night Varsity Policy round.  Instead we will do 4 powered preliminary rounds followed by a final.

We will continue with disclosure.  There is enough time in the schedule for it and the immediate feedback helps the students immensely.  A limited number of judges are available for hire at $100/judge.  Once judges run out, schools will be expected to provide their own judges (1 qualified judge for every two entries).  If you need some help—let me know.

Any questions—don’t hesitate to ask!
