LC Debate

Fall Debate Invitational

November 12, 2016

Novice and Varsity Divisions

Lincoln Douglas, Public Forum, Policy                                    

Four rounds of competition.  The strongest teams will be fourth round semi-final seeded and paneled to determine a final round pairing. Remaining teams will be paired at random during the fourth round for additional debate experience. No entry limits.

Novice is defined as any debater with ten rounds or fewer in any debate. For example, a debater with eight rounds of previous public forum experience may enter as a novice in any of the three debates; however, if their CX or PF partner has 24 rounds of experience, the team must enter in the varsity division.

Awards for 4^th-1^st will be given after semi-final (4^th) and final rounds. Awards for top six speakers in each debate will be given after round 4.

LD and PF will be flighted.

New coaches can sign up for a boxed lunch seminar from 12:30-1:00:  Policy Debate for Beginners.
