General information This information is from a tournament in a past season! This is a College tournament in Minnesota. View manager contact information Hello friends, Gustavus Adolphus College and Minnesota State University, Mankato are pleased to invite you to the 2021 Gustie Mav on Friday November 19th and Saturday November 20th. We are excited to offer the first iteration of this tournament which will offer NPDA style parliamentary debate. Please send all questions regarding the Gustie Mav to (douglas.roberts@mnsu.edu). General Tournament Policies To the best of our ability, we will strive to make this tournament as accessible as possible as such to avoid causing confusion of different programs and applications we will use zoom. Open Door Policy We are committed to providing safe performance spaces for all competitors and judges. We acknowledge the art of performance may be a healing process and/or an opportunity to speak on important, personal topics. As a performer, it is impossible to know all the ways in which content or a performance may unintentionally harm or trigger members of your audience. To better serve the wellness of the forensic community, we will be using an open door practice this weekend. An “open door practice” means competitors and other audience members may choose to leave a round when a performance threatens their mental wellbeing, or due to physical (e.g., uncontrollable coughing, vomiting) or spiritual (e.g., Salah prayer times) needs. Competitors may discretely leave the zoom room, mute their sound (before, during, or after someone’s performance without question or penalty. Anyone in the room may also disengage from a performance (e.g., actively dissociate, put their head down on a desk, cover their ears). Judges will be asked to read the open-door policy aloud at the beginning of every round to reinforce the norm-change emphasizing mental and physical well-being over community norms. Judge Strikes and Judge Accommodations If a student has conflicts with judges for non-competitive reasons, please inform the tournament staff as to prevent conflicts within the tournament. Some non-competitive conflicts may include, but are not limited to: - The student and judge are family members/close friends; - The student was harassed/assaulted by the judge; - The student feels uncomfortable being judged by a former teammate; - The student feels uncomfortable being judged by a former coach. We respect the privacy of these decisions, so no explanation for the conflict is required. If tournament staff is informed a judge has participated in improper behavior, the judge will be removed from the judging pool before interacting with students. Coaches or students may contact tournament staff directly.
Gender Equity We are committed to providing a place where all competitors’, judges’, and observers’ gender identities are observed and respected. We also encourage competitors to rename themselves with their pronouns after their name. Name Pronunciation We recognize the power being called by your correctly pronounced name has in creating an inclusive, welcoming, respectful space. To aid judges and awards readers, please provide student name pronunciation for both the first and last names of your students through Speechwire when registering. Depending upon Speechwire service availability, tournament staff will attempt to make name pronunciations available on cover ballots for judges.
