The Howland Forensics program is pleased to be hosting its annual Amy Lowe Memorial on WEDNESDAY, December 10th.  This will be a full in-person event. All competition will occur at the high school-- 200 Shaffer Drive, Warren, Ohio 44484

 

Currently, we are offering 3 rounds in all IE and Debate. We will be hosting a student congress.  There will be no final congress (each chamber will award their top three speakers) We plan on 3 smaller chambers.  Please mark your top 3 congress folks as "varsity" to ensure they are spread across the chambers.

 

We are also offering Middle School speech and congress(no MS Debate).

 

We will NOT be offering BQD or Policy.  If low entries make the event unviable, you will be notified at the close of registration the Monday of tournament week.

 

Registration is Due by 3:00 pm on Friday, December 5th. Drops after that time will be charged.

Cost per student is $4.00. CHECKS PAYABLE TO HOWLAND BOOSTER CLUB--A W9 is isted under documents in Speechwire.

 

Debate and Congress will use NSDA topics and OSDA congress docket for 12/13.

Middle school congress should prepare EVEN NUMBERED legislation in the docket.

 

Enter as many students as you like in all events. DOUBLED ENTRIES PERMITTED. Mark 3 entries in each event as varsity. Depending on numbers students should expect to compete against teammates.   

 

The building will be open as early as 3:30 PM.  Registration will close at 4:30.  We will not break for dinner but full concessions will be ready upon your arrival.  

 

Please confirm your school's attendance and tentative numbers ASAP.

 

Judges should be entered by 4:00 PM TUESDAY, DECEMBER 9th.

 

Note: We have the space for small sections and it should move fast.  I hope to have everyone heading home by 8:30.  WE NEED EXTRA JUDGES TO MAKE THIS WORK.  Coaches who normally do not judge may be asked to pitch in if we run short.

 

All other logistics will be sent once we get tentative numbers and interested schools.

 

Thanks.
