Hello MAFL Friends!

Our first MAFL tournaments of the 2014-15 season will be held in Indiana. Both MAFL #1 and MAFL #2 will be hosted on the Ball State University campus on Saturday, September 27, and Sunday, September 28, 2014. Many thanks in advance to Mary Moore & her crew for their hospitality. 

Entries: Each school may enter 6 students per event. Each student may enter up to 4 events. Because of the 1 hour and 15 minute time limit for each round, it is strongly recommended that students are only double-entered and not triple-entered in a pattern. It is the responsibility of the student to make it to their rounds on time. Judges cannot wait past the time allotted for the round. Students may not enter all 4 events in one pattern.

*Entries are due Tuesday, September 23 by 5:00 pm CDT. At that point, you will no longer be able to make changes to your entry online. No additional entries will be accepted, but drops should be phoned or emailed to me ASAP.*

Fees: Please remember that at the first MAFL you attend, you will be required to submit your yearly membership dues of $200.00. This payment entitles your school to attend all of the remaining 2014-15 MAFLs. A non-member school may attend 1 MAFL per season without paying membership dues, but instead pay $8 per entered slot and uncovered judge fees.

Beyond your one-time membership dues, the only fees you will pay at each tournament are for uncovered or dropped slots. Each full-time judge covers 6 slots, and uncovered slots are $10 each. If you bring more than 20 uncovered slots, the fee will be increased to $20 for each slot beyond 20. Fees for dropped slots will not be assessed until Wednesday, September 24 at 12:00 pm. After this point there will be a $10 charge for each dropped slot.

Please do not hesitate to contact me (rbuel@monmouthcollege.edu, 805-404-1649) if you have any questions about MAFL tournaments or using Speechwire. Your MAFL Executive Committee is looking forward to a fantastic year!

Cheers,

Rebecca Buel
Executive Secretary, MAFL

FOOD OPTIONS
On campus:
  • Atrium food court— Lobby of AJ. A popular spot for students to meet, the three-story Atrium in the Art and Journalism Building is a 400-seat food court that includes an outdoor courtyard and several food establishments ranging from Italian, Asian, and Mexican to burgers, chicken, subs, and salads. (Probably the quickest option)
