Sheboygan North High School and the SNH Debate Team are excited to welcome you to the Sheboygan North Raider Rumble 2019! We are offering three rounds of both Novice Switch Side and Varsity Switch Side Debate and five rounds of Public Forum and Lincoln-Douglas! Below I have all the necessary information you will need, and as most information is on www.tabroom.com this invite will be kept brief to the essentials.

Nuisance fines for drops will begin at 12pm on Friday, November 19th.

On the morning of the tournament, please complete the online check-in by 8:00am. If that is not a possibility, please text me your confirmation and I will complete it.
