We will use the same topics as the Rocky Mountain tournament. They are:

The Supreme Court should no longer be considered an apolitical branch of government.

Athletes and celebrities have no place in political discourse.

Social protest is no longer an effective means of political change.

Non-disclosure agreements do more harm than good.

Event Procedure: Panel members do not make formal speeches, but remain seated and discuss the topic informally. Notes may be taken during the discussion. Emphasis is on problem solving through working towards group consensus. Panelists should be familiar with the topic and be prepared to discuss facts and opinions. Contestants may bring a pen or pencil and research limited to one page, one sided (8.5 x 11) to the round.
