2/4-5 Newark. Non-MHL, but with novice divisions in LD and Pol.
2/11-12 Scarsdale (LD and PF).
Another non-MHL event, but including a
novice division. And in some rounds, the varsity debaters judge the
novices (confusing in tab, busy for you, fun for all).
2/18-20 UPenn
Another non-MHL college event, including a
novice division. Varsity too, of course, and PF and policy. For those who do not want the angst of Cambridge this weekend.
2/26 MHL Grand Championships at Bronx Science.
3/4-6 Lakeland.
An invitational including novice divisions.
Schools with room available are strongly urged to host. It can be a nice money-maker for you (selling lunch/candy/water) and a fun event for your debaters to be on the other side of the tournament business. Host schools get free registration at their own venue. You provide the rooms, we provide the tournament!
