Reminder to Debaters from Tournament Manager
We are sharing the cafeteria on Saturday with the homecoming dance committee, who will be decorating for our dance starting at 10 am.  For that reason, everyone should try to stay out of the "pit" (the sunken area in the middle of the cafeteria.  It goes without saying that you should also make sure your students (and everyone else) doesn't mess with the decorations at any time. 

I also want to highlight the note on room use in our invitation information:  DO NOT do anything that would disturb the teachers when they return on Monday morning.  DO NOT sit at the teachers' desks or disturb anything on our around them. (This means judges as well as students.) DO NOT unplug anything or mess with any of the tech in the room.  DO NOT bring any food into the rooms, and the only drinks should be water in capped bottles.  We will be checking rooms and I don't want to have to get medieval on anyone. 


Tournament Format
Policy will feature three rounds of competition in each division.
Varsity and JV Lincoln-Douglas and Public Forum will feature four flighted  rounds of competition. Novice LD/PF Novice will first watch a "showcased" Varsity round in their event during flight A of round 1, to be followed by a post-round discussion facilitated by Minnesota coaches during flight B.  After that, there will be a novice division that features three flighted rounds of competition.
