Your Team is invited to the “No Frills” Tournament

                    West Bend East HS     Saturday, November 22, 2014

***Please read carefully.   We will not be running the typical tournament.  You must accept these “rules” in order to participate. ***

Our goal is to give students who need a leg for the State Tournament to get that chance.  With that in mind, we ask that you try not to bring students who have already qualified. (We understand that you might need a few to “fill out” a team.)

Teams:  We will offer NSS, N4 and V4, one division of L-D and one division of Public Forum. Three Rounds of policy     Five Rounds of L-D and PF.  If the Novice Policy divisions don't have enough teams to be viable on their own, they will be combined.

Judges:  You must bring your own judges.  Few will be available for hire.  Teams without a judge will not be allowed to compete.  If you have an extra, let me know and we will share that info with a needy team.

--  You will need one judge per policy team. 

--  You will need one judge for 1 or 2 PF teams or L-Der’s or combo. 

--  You will need 2 judges for 3 or 4 PF teams or L-Der’s or combo.   Continue the progression.

Trophies:  There will be None.  No speaker awards. 

The only thing all winning record teams will go home with is a leg to State.

Fees:  We will charge $10 per L-Der, $15 per PF team and $30 per policy team.  (That should cover hospitality and janitorial.)

Food: Breakfast and lunch items will be sold in the cafeteria.  Hospitality will be provided in the coach/judge/driver room -- which will be East Cafeteria.

Deadline:  Tabroom is open for your entries.  Deadline to enter will be noon on Thursday, November 20.  Fees will apply to all entries as of noon on Thursday or added thereafter.  You may, however, make drops directly on tabroom until noon on Friday, November 21(but you still gotta pay for them.).  If you register multiple 4 speaker teams in either division, make sure you register them in speaker order and squad order.  In other words, the first aff pair and first neg pair you enter will be your 4 person squad.

Schedule:  Registration 7:45-8:15 in East Library.  Schedules will be printed at 8:16.   Round 1 at 8:30.  Other rounds to follow immediately.  If you are not here by 8:15, you will not be included in the Round 1 schedule (gonna be tougher to get that leg.).  We also have figured out electronic balloting and want to try it out.  Watch your emails the week of the tournament for directions for judges .

Sound cruel?  Sorry, but we’re gonna stay on schedule and have you on your way home by 2:30.
