3/17 NYCFL Grands @

To qualify for CFL Nationals:

LD: We're allowed 3 debaters (although we can put in for the swing). Highest status (win/loss record) during the year is how the debaters are chosen. Each debater must bring an experienced judge with a minumum of three debates under the judge belt.
PF teams welcome!!! But same commitment/judge issues as with LD.
Speech: Ex, OO, OI, Duo, Dec, DP.

Bus leaves at 7:00.

4/28-30 TOCs    

The Tournament of Champions for Debate. You've got to earn at least 2 legs to go to Kentucky, or pre-qualify by breaking at the previous year's TOCs. If you don't know anything about TOCs, you're not in the running, and you'll be happier in the local circuit.

The conflict with States will make one of these rather... interesting.
