Welcome our 2nd AST of the year! I hope all of your novices are ready for an incredible VIRTUAL competitive experience on Tuesday, October 20th, 2020!
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.
Registration for NEW ENTRIES will close on FRIDAY, October 16th at 5pm. At that time as many students will be released from the waitlist as judge numbers allow. Changes (drops or name changes) can be made until 12pm on Tuesday, October 20th. You will be able to make your own changes until 12pm on that Tuesday. Any changes after that, please text Justin Weaver: 954.790.8160 the school name, student who is dropping, and her/his event.
All competitors should be READY TO BEGIN by 3:15pm. Rounds will begin at 3:30pm SHARP. They will need to be logged in to both their SpeechWire account (set up by their coach), and Zoom (their Zoom login email should match the email address used for their SpeechWire account). Judges will also need to be registered with their email addresses in order to receive their eballots. Instructions for creating your students' SpeechWire accounts are:
For PF, the SEPTEMBER/OCTOBER topic will be used - Resolved: The United States federal government should enact the Medicare-For-All Act of 2019.
For LD, the NOVICE topic will be used at both the September and October AST - Resolved: Civil disobedience in a democracy is morally justified.
For Policy Debate, the 2020-21 topic will be used - Resolved: The United States federal government should enact substantial criminal justice reform in the United States in one or more of the following: forensic science, policing, sentencing. In addition, at the ASTs all teams MUST use the Novice Policy Packet. The Novice Policy Packet can be accessed at http://www.debatecoaches.org/2018-2019-novice-packet
Extemp topic areas will be "the US Presidential Election" and "China", and Impromptu topic areas will be "Spooky Sayings" and "Change".
Congress legislation for the fall semester was emailed to all coaches. It is also accessible electronically here under the "Files for Download" section. The fall 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 Justin Weaver know if you have any questions about the process.
