The University School Debate Team invites you to the final SFCFL preliminary tournament of the year. Remember, in order to have a student compete at the Grand Final Tournament, March 19-20, he/she must compete in a SFCFL tournament (North Miami - 10/10; Taravella – 11/14; Coral Springs - 12/12; or Douglas - 2/21). A Student in Congress must have spoken at least once and all other competitors must have ranks for all rounds in the tournament. If these requirements have not been met, a student is not eligible for the Grand Final tournament. Remember, Grand Finals is the qualifying tournament for the National CFL tournament in Omaha, NE during the weekend of May 27-31, 2010.
