2022 Smithville Novice Invitational
Dear Speech and Debate Coaches and Teams,
The Smithville High School Chapter of the National Forensics League cordially invites you to our novice invitational January 21st and 22nd. Lafayette High School will carry the varsity tournament for this weekend.
Events at the novice tournament will include:
Policy Debate: Resolved: The United States federal government should substantially increase its protection of water resources in the United States. Lincoln-Douglas: Resolved: January/February 2022 NSDA Topic Public Forum: Resolved: January 2022 NSDA Topic Student Congress: December 2021 NSDA legislation.
We will guarantee 2 entries in each event and then all other entries will be waitlisted upon entry. Extra entries will be awarded as available and at the discretion of the host school. Entry fees will be 8.00/entry. Submit entries on SpeechWire: Smithville Novice Invitational. The deadline for entries is Wednesday, January 12th, 3 pm. Confirmations: 2 pm, Thursday, January 13th.
Masks: Per my athletic director, masks are optional. This means students are allowed to be mask-less at any point during the tournament. I know that this strays from what other tournaments are doing; however, this is direct from my athletic director. My expectation is that you have conversations with your competitors about this and make a decision that is best for your team. This could change as we make our way through January, but as of December 17 2021, this is where Smithville School District stands on visitors masking.
Sincerely,
Danielle Finch, Gavin Finch, and Adam Martin Smithville High School Tournament Administrators TOURNAMENT SCHEDULE
