Dear Debate Community,

On behalf of the Lakeville Debate Team and the Lakeville Debate Boosters, we are pleased to invite you and your team to attend the Lakeville Lucky Duck on October 8th.  We will offer Lincoln Douglas, Public Forum, and Congressional Debate. We are committed to providing an efficient tournament with great hospitality as well as a respectful and inclusive environment. 

In order to accommodate everyone, we will be debating in creative spaces but aim to keep the tournament with single flighting. We do reserve the right to change to double flighting if necessary to accommodate all competitors in the state who want to debate but it will not change your scheduled drop off and pick up times. If that change is made, we will send out an email prior to the event. 

Tabroom drops and judge changes may be made online until 8am. Please check in at the registration desk to confirm, even if you have made all changes online.

In order to help the tournament run smoothly, please confirm that your judges are linked on Tabroom and remind them to hit start when they have both debaters in the room. They should also submit their decision and RFD, then go back in to provide individual comments for students. 

If you need anything the day of the tournament, please contact Deserea Niemann at 612-327-7715. 

We look forward to seeing you at the Lakeville Lucky Duck!  

The Lakeville Debate Team
