2022 Annual Rosebowl Debate Tournament

You know, a lotta ins, lotta outs, lotta what-have-you's. And, uh, lotta strands to keep in my head, man. Lotta strands in old Duder's head.

FORMAT:  There will be 5 rounds of policy debate this weekend. Friday will be ONLINE and Saturday will be IN PERSON. Varsity must enter for both days, but JV and Novice A, B, and C may enter for both or either day of competition.  Policy prep time limit will be 8 minutes. Novice packet information is here. THE SCHEDULE FOR SATURDAY HAS CHANGED - PLEASE LOOK BELOW.

COSTUME AWARDS ARE BACK ON FOR SATURDAY!!!!

AWARDS:   All finalists will receive awards. We hope to hold it at 4:45 pm.  Top awards will be the coveted bowling pins - all other awards will be medals.  We will also be presenting awards for best costumes for Saturday and The Brian Plunkett award for Creative Debate.

Resolutions:   Policy debate will debate the 2022-23 national resolution: 

No LD Debate this year :( sorry!

Food & Drink: In the past, the Rosebowl has had concessions available for purchase. Now that Roseville is a UDL team, the Rosebowl is following the UDL model of pizza, water, and snacks available for 'free' to debaters (part of the entry fee) but no concessions available for purchase.

JUDGE TRAINING (for new judges or people new to Policy): Virtual judge training on Friday is at 3:15pm (which means judges should try to show up around 3:10 just to be safe). The virtual judge training is in  https://meet.jit.si/MNUDLJudgeLounge On Saturday we have judge training at 9:15am - we'll be in room C212.

POSTINGS: Online! Make sure and your students are linked in Tabroom. 

Locations: A wing is to the left of the admin offices.  B wing is straight out from the cafeteria.  C wing is the hallway connecting A and B on both sides forming a U.  D wing is the first hallway off of the cafeteria. Numbering is unusual for C wing C101-C106 is down the long hallway by the admin offices and then continues at the other end of the building.  We pride ourselves in having the most complex and confusing building in the debate world. 

Tab Room: Outside of the Media Center in Upper C.  Come here and calmly bring your concerns to the table.  Judges, if you are not assigned a debate you should be outside the tab room to take a ballot in case someone doesn't show up.
