Sandra W Silvers Invitational

The Calhoun High School Speech and Debate Team invites you to the 2020 Sandra W. Silvers Invitational Tournament to be held online. This year, the tournament will be a one day tournament in order to allow students to participate online.

* Registration opens on September 21st at 8 AM.

* Cost - $20 per team or participant

* Problems or DROPS? Contact Kelli by text or phone-770-773-6806.  Any teams not registered at the end of registration will not be paired

* The Rookie division will be for those debaters that have no previous debate experience. (Meaning no middle school debate, no debate camp, etc.) We will follow the GFCA rules for novices. Packet information:  http://www.gaspeechanddebate.org/novice.  

*The Novice division will be for FIRST YEAR debaters. We will follow the GFCA rules for novices. Packet information:  http://www.gaspeechanddebate.org/novice.

* Lincoln Douglas Debate, Policy Debate, and Public Forum may not double enter. 

* Due to being online, it's particularly essential that people hire their own judges. We will have a very limited number of judges for hire. We don't make any money on hired judging — the entire fee goes to hiring, transporting, and housing the judge. Hired judges are $150.

* No elimination rounds.

* Experienced 3rd/4th year student judges are allowed, but only to cover Novice or Rookie entries — do not enter Novice/Rookie only judges to cover entries in Open.

Emergency phone number is 770.773.6806
