Dear Middle School Speech and Debate Coach:

We would like to invite you to The Woodlands College Park First annual speech, drama, and debate tournament.

Deadlines
We want to make sure we have the quality judges and facility to provide you the most beneficial and equitable tournament. To give schools an equal opportunity to enter their students, we will implement the following procedures:

• When registration opens on Monday, September 11th each school will be initially limited to...
• 6 entries per event in individual events and Congressional Debate.
• 4 entries per event in Lincoln-Douglas and public forum debate.
• 3 entries in world schools debate.
• On Monday, November 5th , we will take entries off of the waiting list as space allows. To maintain competitive balance, we will pull evenly from all schools, and we will not accept more than 10 entries per event from any school.

New entries will not be accepted after 4:00 pm on Tuesday, November 5th.

The drop deadline is 4:00 pm on Thursday November 9th. Drops after this deadline will forfeit the original entry fee. You can make name substitutions during registration.

Judging

Quality Judging is a priority for our tournament. We will have a combination of volunteer teachers coaches and parents and Selected High School students. All will attend a training session to better produce ballots for you and your students.

Questions

If you have any questions, email Andrew Gibson atajgibson@conroeisd.netWe look forward to seeing you in November.

Sincerely,

Andrew Gibson—Director of Speech and Debate
