Nov 5th @ Coon Rapids



Coon Rapids High School [directions, maps]
2340 Northdale Boulevard Northwest, Coon Rapids, MN
5 November 2016



Times:
Bus leaves Edina from the EPAC at 7AM. 
Return about 5:30PM

Coach:
Andy Charrier

Format:
Five rounds, and a final round.  Power-matched in rounds 3, 4 and 5 so points will very much matter.  Practice cases, cross-ex, and explaining your key arguments.

Notes:
Bring a timer, water bottle, extra copy of your cases, and have evidence organized in an expando.
Also, bring food.  They will have pizza for sale but don't count on that to last the whole day.

Schedule
Round 1 begins at 8:30 and awards at 5PM.

29 October 2016
Times: 
Bus leaves Edina from EPAC at 7AM.
Return about 5PM.

A note about entries -- We have a GIANT team and this is a weekend where we are limited in our ability to take everybody out, mostly due to lack of space in the host school.  We considered splitting between tournaments but that turned out to be impractical as well.

IF you are NOT on this list, we will make you the highest priority the next time we have to cut down the number of debaters we can enter.

Practice Times for Upcoming Week

Policy Debaters Rock at St. Croix Prep








Between construction and vacation, we have a few changes in our schedule this week:

Monday (10/17) - practice as usual, except Andy's group will not meet on Monday.

Wednesday (10/19) - PF and LD practices will be held at the Edina Community Center in rooms 332 and 350 rather than at the high school.

Thursday (10/20) - no practice at all.

Saturday (10/22) - Andy's experienced LD group will meet at 10AM in room 350 of the ECC.

We are also going to change around some of the practice groupings in LD as well.  Harley and Hayley will practice together and a few LDers will move to practice time with Andy.  We'll notify debaters by email of these changes.  This is done to get debaters the help they need most.
