INCLEMENT WEATHER RESCHEDULE- Due to Hazardous Driving Conditions in NWA, we are rescheduling this tournament.

Fall Semester has been very long, we hope that you and your team get refreshed during the Holiday break and are able to attend the 7^th Annual Dardanelle Sand Lizard Classic on January 26^th and 27^th! This year we are SUPER HERO THEMED! Throw on the costume (or T shirt) of your favorite hero and fly to the only small school in Arkansas that has consistently hosted a tournament in the past decade.

The Sand Lizard Classic is a qualifier for the Arkansas State Championship and hopes to be a qualifier to the Tournament of Champions in Dramatic Interpretation, Original Oratory, Informative Speaking, and Poetry/ Prose. In addition, we are looking to follow the footsteps of our friends at Mills and LRC by offering the following awards.

· Award for Debate Excellence: presented to a senior debate competitor who actively participates in debate competition and who contributes to their program positively through mentorship and example https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSddpSVmZRlNQ9Ja6SYXiflKH5T7sP73ZoXk0DxRBvT2OWV2ug/viewform?usp=sharing

· Coach of Distinction: will be granted to a coach, nominated by their students, who represent what a true coach should be. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdsxusfPIhdDyuhv9zxi2oMRg0Yk5a2lFAvsxy5Is0rZzyTaQ/viewform?usp=sharing

Congress bills will come from the ACTAA Spring Bill Book. Specific bills will be chosen when the bill book is released.

We look forward to seeing you next semester!
