Hello Friends,

Hope you had a fantastic holiday season and are ready for the Spring semester. We will kick off 2015 with MAFL #5 and MAFL #6, hosted on the Northern Illinois University campus on Saturday, January 24, and Sunday, January 25. Many thanks in advance to Lisa Roth and Judy Santacaterina for their hospitality.

Reminders for MAFL #5:

  • MAFL #5 is a Novice Recognition tournament. When you register students for each event, please specify whether they are in the Novice or Open division. A Novice is a student in their first year of collegiate forensics competition.
     
  • We are now accepting hosting bids for the 2015-16 MAFL season. These must be submitted to rbuel@monmouthcollege.edu by Sunday, January 25. Requirements for hosting can be found here: https://sites.google.com/site/maflwebsite/hosting
     

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, January 20 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, January 21 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. Hoping to see many of you in DeKalb!

Cheers,

Rebecca Buel
Executive Secretary, MAFL
