Dear Forensics Friends, On behalf of Northern Virginia Community College, the NOVA Forensics Team is delighted to invite you to the Washington DC metropolitan area on Saturday, January 21st, 2017 for the Richard J. Ernst Invitational. The tournament will be held on the Alexandria, Virginia campus of Northern Virginia Community College in the Bisdorf building. Our tournament features formidable competition from some of the top forensics programs in the country, great breakfast food, snacks and other tournament wellness perks for your students and a talented tabulation staff for an efficient tournament experience. For awards, we will provide ceramic themed art created by NOVA students for all events and we will also offer high quality plaques for team sweepstakes award winners! This year, in addition to offering competition in 11 AFA sanctioned individual events, the Richard J. Ernst Invitational will also offer an IPDA Debate! There will be four preliminary rounds and two elimination rounds in IPDA Debate. Phi Rho Pi rules govern IPDA debate. In the round, students doing IPDA debate will be given a choice of 5 resolutions (2 policy, 2 fact/value, 1 metaphor). Negative will strike first; Affirmative will strike second, and so on until one resolution is left. The 30-minute preparation time begins as soon as the Negative strikes their first topic. As per Phi Rho Pi/IPDA rules, students ARE allowed to consult electronic devices and the Internet during prep time. Students may also transcribe notes gathered from these sources to be used in the round. However, students are NOT allowed to use these devices during the round. Only written work will be allowed in the round. It is only acceptable for students to use their cell phones as a timer once preparation time is over and the debate begins. Please consult ipdadebate.info for more information on format and structure. IPDA is meant to be conversational debate. We are excited to host this event for interested competitors! Finally, after the Richard J. Enst Tournament on Saturday concludes, the NOVA Alexandria campus will host an exciting Southern Northern Atlantic Forensics Union (SNAFU) Tournament on Sunday, January 22nd, 2017. The SNAFU Tournament will also feature all 11 AFA sanctioned events and also NPDA debate. Please see Speechwire for more information on the Sunday SNAFU tournament. We hope to see you in January for a great tournament experience on our campus! Best,
