Registration for Nat Quals Big Questions closes on March 21st at 5:00 pm.  The tournament will take place on Speechwire.com on Saturday March 27th.

 

Entries must be single person only. The topic this year is: Resolved: Science leaves no room for free will.

 

There are no limits on the number of students a school can send and these students will not count towards a school's district entry limits.

 

Here's a link to an FAQ that should be able to answer other questions: https://www.speechanddebate.org/big-questions-nationals-faq/.

 

Please see NSDA online resource page for cases and evidence on Science and Free Will. (https://www.speechanddebate.org/resources/?tag=big-questions).

 

Hopefully the prospect of sending another student from our district to Nationals will be exciting for all our students.

 

Judging: Currently assessing what our judge needs will be is difficult till we know how many schools are participating. So our current request is that any school participating brings 1 UNAFFILIATED (as possible) Judge for every 2 entries.  Once we have numbers locked in, we can focus on judges and if our judges are entered as well we can preschedule them and ensure that they are not sitting around waiting for ballots. However, this will be a community effort to ensure that happens. So once again thank you in advance for helping with this! 

 

Thank you!

The Rocky Mountain South Committee
