Salt Lake NCFL Qualifier
General information This information is from a tournament in a past season! This is a High School tournament in Utah. View manager contact information Salt Lake NCFL QualifierDebate, Individual Events, and Congressional Debate Tournament The Juan Diego Catholic High School Speech and Debate Team invites you the Salt Lake NCFL Qualifier. Winners of the tournament will qualify to compete in Chicago at this year's NCFL Grand National Tournament. The tournament is on February 4th and 5th. The goal is to complete the tournament on the 4th, but larger events may require that we compete on the 5th to determine qualifiers. QUICK LINKSEVENTS AND RULESTo the extent possible, the tournament will follow rules and guidelines as established by the NCFL. These can be seen here: http://www.ncfl.org/competition-events. Please read the documents titled "master ballot" and "critique sheet" for more details. These documents will be used at this tournament. Oral Interpretation of Literature According to the NCFL, students in oral interpretation of literature will alternate between prose and poetry. For this reason, expect the following format for that event: round 1 - prose round 2 - poetry round 3 - prose final - poetry Congressional Debate For congress, we will follow normal Utah conventions for running the chambers. In other words, we will not adopt the NCFL standards mentioned on their website. CONGRESS DOCKETSession 1 A resolution to Nationally Legalize Physician-Assisted Suicide A Resolution to Promote the Use of Thorium Driven Nuclear Reactor A Resolution to Decrease Space Debris to Rescue the Final Frontier A Resolution to Deny the Federal Government the Ability to Ban Books A Resolution to Abolish Standardized Testing in all Federally Funded Schools

DOUBLE ENTRY PROTOCOLAll double entry is done at the students' own risk. The schedule is such that double entry can be reasonably accomodated for students entered in speech events. Students in debate events, however, are discouraged from double entering. Students should report to both rounds FEESEntry fees are $3.50. Duo teams, PF teams, and policy teams are $7. REGISTRATIONRegistration will be done on Speechwire, though any coach who prefers to email their registration may do that also. The deadline to enter contestants is Thursday, January 30. Though there will be no drop fees, any decrease in fees for drops after January 30th will not be reflected on your statement. A list of entries and judges will be emailed to all coaches after January 30th. Coaches must then reply to confirm that the entry is correct, or they should make necassary changes on Speechwire. An explaination of any unmet financial commitment will be included with this email. TABULATION AND SCORINGCompetitors will be ranked. The ratings system (S,E, G, F) will not be used. The tabroom will be open to all coaches, and they will have access to all ballots as well as the computer records. For this reason, coaches are responsible to verfiy the accuracy of all tabbing of individual results and sweepstakes awards. No corrections will be made after the tournament is concluded. Competitors will all be ranked, with no ties. This also means that there will be no ties for 5th place, as is often the norm at tournaments in Utah. The tournament director will determine who advances to finals and semi-finals based on cumulative ranks from preliminary rounds. Final rankings will be determined with the following criteria:
Finals rounds will be judged by a panel of three judges, except where entry in the event is fewer than 14 total entries. AWARDSThere will be awards for all debaters qualifying for nationals. JUDGESIE Judges One judge is required for every five entries or portion thereof. LD, PF, and Policy One judge is required for every two entries in each event or portion thereof. FOODDinner will be provided for coaches and judges. Food will be available for purchase for students. WIRELESS ACCESSWireless Internet is accessible to all of our guests. Log onto the network SCC-Guest with the password “skaggs13”. As a reminder to extemp and congress competitors – you may use your computers but wireless functionality must be disabled during prep and competition.
