THIS IS THE REGISTRATION FOR THE SATURDAY HALF OF THE SWING!

 

Friends and Colleagues:

 

The Conference Challenge Committee is pleased to invite you to the Conference Challenge Swing on October 12-13, 2013. Special thanks to the coaches at Central Michigan University, Eastern Michigan University, and The University of Nebraska-Lincoln for their support in hosting this event. Both halves of the tournament will be held on the picturesque Northwestern University campus in scenic Evanston, Illinois, just miles north of Chicago.

 

We are pleased to offer all 11 AFA Events, LD Debate, and Parliamentary Debate. A two year division will be offered for all events with sufficient entries. For those events without sufficient entries for a separate division, a two year final will still be held based upon results from the open division. Competitors who place into the open final will not be eligible for the two year division final. Awards will be presented to the top six speakers in each event, top six speakers in quadrathon, and the top five schools in team sweepstakes.

 

The swing will also feature a special conference challenge sweepstakes to determine the top team from each athletic conference over the course of the Saturday and Sunday tournaments. Because some schools are in multiple conferences we ask that you indicate which conference you are a part of on your tournament entry.  The top students in each event from each conference will also be recognized. Please note that the bragging rights from this challenge are taken quite seriously by many administrators, especially those at Northwestern. For this reason, all students from the host schools will be competing.

 

Please enter the tournament's speech events/IE by using speechwire.com before 5pm on Tuesday October 8, 2013. Fees are $8 per IE slot each. One judge will be required for every six entries or fraction thereof. Uncovered slots are each $10. Drop fees will be assessed after noon on Wednesday, October 9th. The drop fee for IE is $15 per dropped slot and $50 per dropped judge. These fees will apply each day as each day is a separate tournament. Please indicate each day's entries on the appropriate SpeechWire entry page -- there is one for each day.  SpeechWire will help you key in your students' names by guessing them when you register for the Sunday tournament.  If you would like additional informtion about debate, please email Ryan Lauth at:

r-lauth@northwestern.edu.

 

Parking for the tournament will be widely available as parking permits on campus are not required during weekends. Parking is recommended in either the surface lot or parking garage off of Arts Circle Drive (just off of Sheridan Road). Registration will be held near this location on the main level of University Hall. 

 

We look forward to seeing you in Chicago-land soon.

Thanks,

Ryan Lauth
