Dear Coaches,

On Saturday, April 7, we will have our District #6 tournament, which includes Marshfield, North Bend, Coquille, and Bandon, at Marshfield High School.  The tournament will start at 8:00 am. 

There will be food provided for judges and coaches; however, we will not have food options for students. Local pizza places will deliver. The students will be in the student lounge which is a much tighter space.

Please have your registration completed on Tabroom by Friday, March 23rd. Each school will be charged a $50 participation fee instead of individual student cost. This goes towards medals and some food for judges.

Please register judges in tabroom. We will need judges from 7:45 am- 8 pm (at the latest). Please be sure to record what times your judges will be present.

Please call if you have questions.  My phone # at school is 541-269-6676.  My cell phone is 541-217-1116.

The schedule is attached. Please be aware that we will push times ahead when we are able to in order to end early. Students should not leave campus. We may also reduce the number of rounds depending on the number of entries for both judges and students. We may also run Debate and IE's at the same time depending on entries. In other words, the schedule is flexible....

The rules for entries are as follows:

OSAA BASICS FOR ENTRIES

Each school - maximum of 29 entries, including LD entries.  (Dual teams are one entry). Coaches can enter 3 students/teams in each area.

Students can enter, at the maximum, 2 individual events and one debate.

Debate-No contestant can appear at the State Tournament without competing first at the district tournament, unless the contestant is a substitute speaker in CX Debate, Public Forum Debate, Public Debate or Dual Interpretation.

In IEs:

2-11 speakers = 2 to State. 

12- 17 = 3 to State.     

(This, in my humble opinion, encourages even the beginning speaker to enter, so they can get experience and we can send as many as possible to the State Tournament.)

In Debate:

Cross-Examination Debate

1-2 teams=1 to State

             3-4 teams=2 to State

             5-6 teams=3 to State

             7-8 teams=4 to State

Public Debate and Public Forum Debate (April Topic)

1 team=1 to State

2-8 teams=2 to State

9-16 teams=3 to State

Lincoln-Douglas Debate  (March-April Topic)

1-5 teams=1 to State

6-10 teams=2 to State

11-15 teams=3 to State

Alternatives may go to State if the Coach calls to tell me a student cannot go and then we can substitute the alternate.  (It is important as soon as you know this is the case, to call me so we can get in contact with the alternate’s coach and let them know.)
