Sunshine State Showdown
2013 — FL/US
September 26, 2013
The Nicholson School of Communication and the UCF Debate Team will host the Sunshine State Showdown intercollegiate debate tournament on Saturday, October 12, 2013. All debate rounds, hospitality, and awards presentations will be in the Nicholson building.
All debate rounds will be based upon the 2013-2014 CEDA/NDT debate resolution. We will use the 9-3-6 format, with 10 minutes of prep time per team. If numbers are adequate, there will be both a novice and a JV division. We will have four total rounds of competition, with awards following as soon thereafter as possible.
All participants are expected to follow all behavioral rules/guidelines of CEDA, ADA, the University of Central Florida, and the State of Florida. Please note that UCF is now a smoke-free campus. For smokers, it is a very short walk from the NSC building to the edge of campus, and we will be happy to make sure you know the easiest route.
Breakfast and coffee will be provided by NSC and the UCF debate team. In addition, the University of Miami debate program has generously agreed to provide a pizza lunch for all attendees.
The tentative schedule is as follows:
8:00 Breakfast available
9:00 Round One begins
11:00 Round Two begins
1:00 Lunch
2:00 Round Three begins
4:00 Round Four begins
7:00 Awards Presentation
We hope you will join us for this event, and look forward to seeing you in Orlando !
Best,
Paul Leader
Director of Debate
