Hello!

Your school is invited to the Missouri Novice and Junior Varsity Season Championship asynchronously February 22nd-26th and synchronously Friday, and Saturday, February 26th and 27th.

Brief details:
N and JV divisions of all MSHSAA and NSDA events
Divisions will collapse if necessary
All IE's are async 2 prelims, semis, and finals. 
Congress and debate (CX/LD/PF) are live
Congress - Up to three prelim sessions plus semis and finals depending upon entry numbers for JV, Novice Congress is Async.
Debate (CX/LD/PF) 6 Prelims - 2 Friday (4pm and 6pm), and 4 Saturday (9am, 11am, 2pm, and 4pm). 
LD and PF are single-flighted but rotate. LD happens at the top of the hour, and PF happens 1 hour later. 

Judge Burdens:
IE's - 1 judge per 10 entries
Debate - 1 judge per 4 debate entries
We assume those judges will be your 3rd and 4th-year students. Those students will be eligible to judge both JV and Novice.
If you enter adult judges, we will try to use them last. Truman will recruit a community pool of adults and current Truman 3rd/4th years. 

Entry qualifications:
Novice = Any student in their first year of HS Speech & Debate
JV = Any student in their first OR second year of HS Speech & Debate

Entry limits = Unlimited as long as you cover your judging burden. If your entry is too large given the field in a particular event (roughly 25% of the field), your entries may be forced to debate each other. The priority will be pairing teams within their respective brackets whenever possible. A school may choose to have the debate or pick which entry wins. 

A full invite is posted on the right-hand sidebar! 

Thank you all!

Best, 
Jeri & Parker
