General information This information is from a tournament in a past season! This is a Middle School tournament in Florida. View manager contact information
Welcome to the 8th and final MAST of the year on Wednesday, April 10th, 2019 at Glades Middle School (thanks to our hosts, Christine McMahon and the Glades Middle Students/Parents)!
Please follow the instructions on this page to register your entries. Remember, each school may only initially enter FIVE students in all events except Congress, in which you can enter TEN. Entries beyond those numbers will go on a waitlist. If space at Glades Middle School permits, students will be released off of the waitlist after registration closes on a first-come, first-served basis.
Registration for NEW ENTRIES will close on Monday, April 8th at 5pm. You will be permitted to make changes (drops or name changes) until 12pm on Wednesday, April 10th. Any changes after that, please text Megan West: 940.206.3806 or Justin Weaver: 954.790.8160 the school name, student who is dropping, and her/his event. Any HIDDEN DROPS (drops that go unreported by the start of the tournament) will cost the school $25 per drop, to be invoiced and paid before the next MAST.
Safety & Security:
For PF, the APRIL topic will be used - Resolved: The United Nations should grant India permanent membership on the Security Council.
For LD, the MARCH/APRIL topic will be used - Resolved: The illegal use of drugs ought to be treated as a matter of public health, not of criminal justice. Note: we are NO LONGER using the Novice LD (civil disobedience) topic.
For Policy Debate, the 2018-19 topic will be used - Resolved: The United States federal government should substantially reduce its restrictions on legal immigration to the United States. In addition, at the MASTs all teams MUST use the Novice Policy Packet. Instructions for accessing the packet were emailed directly to all coaches.
Extemp topic areas will be "International Aid" and "Science", and Impromptu topic areas will be "April Fools" and "Science".
Congress legislation for the spring semester was emailed to all coaches. It is also accessible electronically here under the "Files for Download" section. The spring legislation packet has designations for which bills will be debated in which months, with 4 bills per month. Per usual, chambers might not debate all 4 bills if time does not allow.
More information may be sent out as the tournament approaches. Please let your mentor know if you have any questions about the process. We know this may be the first tournament for some of you!
*REMINDER FOR PRIVATE AND CHARTER SCHOOLS: Please remember to email Megan with how many tournaments you will be attending this year so that an invoice can be generated for you. These MUST be paid before or at the first MAST for schools to be able to participate.
