DebateBroward HS Novice AST #1
General information
This information is from a tournament in a past season! This is a High School tournament in Florida. View manager contact information
Our 1st AST will be on Thursday, September 14th at Fort Lauderdale High School!
Remember, our ASTs are for NOVICE debaters in their first year of high school debate. Veteran debaters with at least 150 NSDA points are welcome to attend and judge.
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. Any entries over that number will go on the waitlist, which will be cleared pending available space at Fort Lauderdale High and sufficient judge numbers.
Registration for NEW ENTRIES will close on TUESDAY, September 12th at 3pm. At that time as many students will be released from the waitlist as judge numbers and room space allow. Changes (drops or name changes) can be made until 12pm on September 14th, the day of the tournament. Any changes after that, please text Sarah Beauchamp: 412-719-3314 the school name, student who is dropping, and their event.
You MUST arrive for the tournament between 1:30pm and 2:15pm. If you arrive after 2:15 you will get caught in Fort Lauderdale's dismissal traffic and could miss/forfeit the first round.
For PF, the SEPTEMBER/OCTOBER topic will be used - Resolved: The United States federal government should substantially increase its military presence in the Arctic.
For LD, the SEPTEMBER/OCTOBER topic will be used - Resolved: In the United States, national service ought to be mandatory. (Please note that we are NO LONGER using the Novice "civil disobedience" topic).
For Policy Debate, the 2023-24 topic will be used - Resolved: The United States federal government should substantially increase fiscal redistribution in the United States by adopting a federal jobs guarantee, expanding Social Security, and/or providing a basic income. In addition, at the ASTs all teams MUST use the Novice Policy Packet. The Novice Policy Packet can be accessed at the NDCA website: http://www.debatecoaches.org/ and clicking on the Google Drive Folder link.
Extemp topic areas will be "A.I. in Education" and "Weather Phenomena," and Impromptu topic areas will be released at the tournament.
Congress legislation for September was emailed to all coaches in August. It is also accessible electronically here under the "Files for Download" section. Once the schools have all submitted CD legislation, then we will release packets. 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.
