Discussion:       What should be the future of Discussion in IHSFA?

                        Background: Over the past few years, there has been a number of problems with the event. The overarching question tends to be: How do you have a competition in an event that is ultimately about consensus?

                        Competitors are expected to research the history of this event. This includes, but not limited to….

                                    -Talking to past competitors

                                    -Talking to coaches

                        -Looking at recent tournaments’ invitation letters on IHSFA to see what is being done at various competitions.

-Reflect on past personal experiences. What went right? What went wrong? Why?

Special Note: Varsity and Novice will be combined during competition, but separated for awards.

**An IHSFA Council Member will observe the Final Round of competition to take notes and report back to the Executive Board.

                        Duo can double in another duo under certain conditions…
