HOTEL INFORMATION:
If you are coming from out of town, we have reserved a block of rooms at the Holiday Inn in Cherry Creek area of Denver. Holiday Inn 455 S Colorado Blvd, Denver, CO 80246 (303) 388-5561 http://www.holidayinn.com/
We will be offering Varsity Policy Debate, Novice Policy Debate, Lincoln Douglas Debate, Public Forum Debate and Congressional Debate. -You are allowed a maximum of five entries in each debate except Congress where you are allowed to bring up to 10 entries. -If you would like to bring more than five entries in each debate event or more than 10 in Congress, we will begin a waitlist and will pull students in on a first come first served basis. -Students MAY NOT double-enter in any debate event. Students may not double enter in debate and speech events. In Novice CX, we will employ the NFHS Novice case limits with a slight revision, meaning that all teams should limit themselves to these four case areas: 2015-16 Novice Cases o REVISED - Pass a proposal to appoint a privacy advocate to appear before the FISA court, limit the PRISM database (which now collects Internet data), and allow U.S. Companies more leeway in disclosing orders they receive from the federal government. o Limit the FBI’s use of entrapment and use of informants in Muslim communities. o Limit immigration enforcement by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) using home and workplace raids, much as President Obama has proposed to do in his Executive Order — an Order that has been “stayed” by U.S. Federal District Judge Hanen. Most court observers believe that the appeal of Judge Hanen’s ruling will take a long time, leading to an interesting public debate on the wisdom of aggressive immigration enforcement. o Limit the government’s use of drone surveillance Additionally, in novice CX, the negative cannot use Counterplans or Kritiks. Speech: We will be offering the following Speech events: Humor, Drama, Duo, Poetry, Program of Oral Interpretation, Oratory, Informative Speaking, International Extemp, National Extemp, and Impromptu -Students may DOUBLE ENTER in two speech events. -Students may not double enter in speech and debate events. -We will allow up to five entries in each event. Once you have reached your five entries, students may be put on a waitlist where students will be brought into the tournament on a first come, first served basis. -Students will be responsible for getting to their rounds on time, and if they do decide to double enter in a prep event, students might not get their full prep time. -We will post the rules for POI and Informative speaking. - The Impromptu draw will occur in the rooms. The students will have a total of seven minutes for both prep and speaking time. They can use the time as they wish. They can prep for two minutes and speak for five minutes, or they can prep for 4 minutes and speak for three. FEES: (PLEASE READ CAREFULLY) Entries: We will be charging $20 per entry for all individual events and $40 for all partner events (Duo, CX, and PF) Note: At a normal three round tournament, you will pay between $10 and $12 an entry, this works out to $3.34 to $4.00 a round. Because we are offering five preliminary rounds, we are equating that to you paying $4.00 a round. Team Fee: There will be a team fee of $50 that each team will be charged. IF YOU FILL OUR JUDGING REQUIREMENT, THE FEE WILL BE WAIVED. This is an incentive for you to bring judges and thus, not have to pay the team fee. We would rather have your judges, than have your money. Judging: The tournament will be paying all judges $10 a round in cash. Teams are heavily encouraged to fill their judging quota so that their team Fee can be waived. If you have students competing in debate events you must provide a judge that can judge debate rounds while your students are still competing. Your judges are responsible for one round after your team has been eliminated. If you get a student to qtr finals in PF, then you must have a judge who is available to judge the semifinal round.
