Borah Novice 2022
2022 — Boise, ID/US
Congress
Event Description:
There will be a single, novice division of Congressional Debate. Chambers will be composed of no more than 15 members, although 10 is the target. Competition will feature three sessions that are 2.5 hours long. In the first session the parliamentarian will act as PO. In subsequent sessions students should conduct PO elections. No legislation will be accepted from participating schools; instead, the tournament will use the D3 Fall 2022 Legislation Packet. Legislation will be posted on tabroom.com Chambers will be responsible for setting their own agenda. There will not be a final round so no legislation will be reserved. Students who end in the top 3 of their chamber will be recognized at the end of the tournament. This event will follow NSDA rules.
