Friends in Speech:    The fourth annual Notre Dame Academy-St. John's Jesuit "Tourducken" Speech and Debate Invitational will be celebrated on November 19th a oen day event. NDA will host 4 rounds of individual events and St. John's will host Policy Debate (PDQ if possible) and Lincoln-Douglas, Public Forum, and Student Congress.  St. John's and NDA are not quite ten miles apart and the route is clocked at thirteen to sixteen minutes (we have students who claim they can do it in ten--we do not recommend this speed.).  Both schools are close to expressway exits and St. John's Jesuit is exceptionally close to hotels.  There is a brand new Hampton Inn on Secor Rd which is right around the corner from NDA.   A Red Roof Inn and Clarion are also there==the Red Roof has decidedly mixed reviews but may have upped their game with the Hampton now built. If you stay where you stay for Sylvania’s tournament it should work well.

 

We will continue to use Rubber Ducks (oh, the infinite variety) for 1st through 6th place).  At our last two tournaments, we have been happy to add a turkey duck to pay homage to the Tourducken festivities.  These can absolutely be used for Thanksgiving decorations and will allow successful speakers to talk about their  accomplishments while passing the gravy.

             

Now the details of the days…

Registration:  We will start a little later this year at the request of our southern friends.  Hopefully we will avoid the very special ice storm that started our day last time. Will be from 8:30-9:10 am  at NDA and 8:20-8:50 am  at SJJ.  Debate only schools can check in only at SJJ.  Please drop your debaters off first.  We want to get the debate rounds going as soon as possible. Policy will start earlier.   For NDA--drop off at the front entrance and park either in the front or side lot--we will have computer check in waiting for any issues. As we are trying to make registration later and shorter, it is vital you call ahead with as many changes as possible. For SJJ, please enter the Iott Center entrance on Airport Highway.  If you are dropping a speaker or have travel issues, please call Trish for individual events—419 343-0007 or for debate, contact Dave Zavac via email. 

Congress will use the OHSSL choices for this weekend. 

Judges:  Please bring one judge for every five students in Individual Events or Congress.  Please bring one judge for every one-two L-D debaters.  For PF or Policy competitors, please bring one judge for every one to  two teams.  If you have one debate team, bring one judge, two teams bring one judge, three teams bring two judges, four teams bring two judges, etc. We may have a very few judges for hire for $50.00 a day. 

 

Registration fees:  $5.00 per contestant regardless of events.  Make checks payable to Notre Dame Academy or to SJJ if you have only debate..

 

Registration deadline:  Please register on Speechwire. Please try to have registrations complete by 3:00 p.m. on Thursday the 17th. We will keep it open for changes until 3:00 p.m.on Friday the 20th without any issues.  It will be open for you to change after that if needed, but starting Saturday morning at about 8:00 a.m. we will be making the changes. We reserve the right to limit numbers in an event  to six per school, if we must, but do notexpect this to be an issue. Please contact Trish if you wish to double enter a student.
