Invite

Dear Middle School Speech and Debate Coach:

We would like to invite you to the first annual Klein Oak Middle School Fall Classic 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 8th 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, September 22nd , 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, October 28th.

The drop deadline is 4:00 pm on Thursday October 30th. 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, parents, and Selected High School students. All will attend a training session to better produce ballots for you and your students. Feedback is important.

Questions

If you have any questions, email Ronnie Massey, rmassey3@kleinisd.net. We look forward to seeing you in November.

Sincerely,

Ronnie Massey—Head Coach of Speech and Debate
