Princeton High School is pleased for the opportunity to host you at our TFA Tournament!

Debate:

Novice and Varsity Policy Debate: Resolved: The United States federal government should establish national health insurance in the United States.

Note regarding Novice Policy Restrictions:

The novice policy division competitors must use the NDCA Novice Packet, following the rollout schedule outlined here [will be posted here not later than August 15]. Only authorized NDCA files will be allowed in our novice policy division.

No changes to the files [including tags or evidence] will be allowed. Debaters are encouraged to make their own non-carded arguments, as analytical arguments and extensions, including overviews and explanations of arguments.

Anyone registering novice policy teams should plan to abide by the evidence restrictions in the division. Novice policy judges will be educated about the packet and the restrictions prior to judging in the division. Schools will be expected to educate their judges about the packet and restrictions prior to the tournament.

The full NDCA novice packet and other curriculum is located here.
