Dear Friends and Colleagues,

The Lincoln East Debate Team, parents, and coaches invite you to attend our 30th annual (and newly named) Samuelson Sweeps Debate Tournament on Saturday, January 14, 2017.

For two 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 Lincoln-Douglas, Cross Examination, and Public Forum Debates, as well as Student Congress.   

In addition to top-notch competition, our concession stand and judges'/coaches' lounge will feature a cornucopia of wholesome (and not-so-wholesome) fare.  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 food, good judging, and nice awards. 

 If you have questions about the 2017 Samuelson Sweeps, please don't hesitate to contact us.  Good luck as the season progresses, and we sincerely hope to see you in January!

John Holen 

Debate Coach
