Special Opportunity
Apple Valley hosts a national-level tournament at which teams from all over America fly in to compete, including the very best varsity teams in the country.  There is also a novice division and some of these schools bring their novices on this trip too.  So it's a chance to debate people from schools outside Minnesota.  Furthermore, the tournament features elimination (playoff rounds) for the top 16 or 8 teams in novice.  If you keep winning you keep debating, and if you are eliminated you can then watch the best varsity debaters and see what top-level Public Forum debate looks like.
