YOU AND YOUR SQUAD ARE INVITED TO WICHITA NORTHWEST HIGH SCHOOL ON NOVEMBER 1ST FOR OUR INVITATIONAL DEBATE TOURNAMENT.

OUR TOURNAMENT WILL HOST BOTH NOVICE AND OPEN DIVISIONS. NOVICE DIVISION WILL BE RESTRICTED TO THE FOUR NOVICE CASE AREAS. YOU CAN USE DIFFERENT AFF EVIDENCE OR DIFFERENT NEGATIVE ARGUMENTS OUTSIDE OF THE PACKET, BUT THE AFFIRMATIVE CASE AREAS SHOULD BE THOSE INDICATED BY NFHS. IF YOU CHANGE THE PLAN TEXT FROM THE PACKET, JUST MAKE SURE YOU ARE STILL DOING THE FOUR NOVICE CASE AREAS. A LIST AND DESCRIPTION OF EACH AREA CAN BE FOUND HERE:

THE OPEN AND NOVICE DIVISIONS WILL BE FOUR ROUNDS ONLY AND WILL RUN ON SATURDAY ONLY.

ENTRIES ARE SIX DOLLARS PER TEAM. NO MORE THAN FOUR TEAMS PER DIVISION. (EXTRAS MAY BE GRANTED BASED ON SPACE. IF EXTRAS ARE GRANTED, THERE MAY BE AN ADDITIONAL JUDGING REQUIREMENT BASED ON THE NUMBER OF JUDGES EXPECTED FROM THE COMMUNITY POOL)

PREFERENCE WILL BE GIVEN TO SUNFLOWER NSDA ENTRIES/TOURNAMENTS THAT WE ATTEND.
