Idaho Mountain Rivers

District Debate Tournament

 

January 20, 2010

 

 

Dear NFL Coach:

 

You and your team are cordially invited to attend the  NFL District Debate Tournament.  The Congress Tournament will be held at Bonneville HS during the Bonneville debate invitational.  Registration for Congress must be completed on this web site and also hard copy registration by February 6, 2010.  There will be a table at the Blackfoot tournament for NFL Congress.  At the Bonneville tournament, there will be a registration table for the speech and debate NFL tournament.

 

The Speech and Debate tournament will take place on  February 19-20, 2010 at Shelley High School in Shelley, Idaho.  The tournament will feature Policy, Lincoln-Douglas, Public Forum Debate, Humorous Interp, Dramatic Interp, Duo Interp, Original Oratory, US Extemp and Foreign Extemp. We will follow the National Forensic League rules. It is the affirmative responsibility of all coaches to read and know the rules. 

 

Remember that a student may enter two speech or debate events, plus congress.  Students entered in policy debate may not enter public forum debate due to schedules.  Public forum debaters may only enter duo interp if they have the same partners for PF and DUO.  Students may enter LD and PF.  Remember, students may only enter two events.  (Congress is a separate tournament and does not count as one of their events.) 

 

On this website you will find important information: the tournament schedule, tournament procedures, and registration forms.  The registration deadline is 7:00 p.m. on Friday, February 12, 2010. You must register both online and with the traditional paper entry form by the deadline.  Entries are based upon the NFL rules be sure to read them.  Each school/coach has been assigned a board member to assist you through the registration process. Please use their knowledge to assist you with registration questions or concerns (the List is below). The tab room is as always open to coaches. Please read the page on tournament etiquette.  Tournament management will be on computer with joy of Tournaments.

 

We look forward to seeing you and your students on both February 6-7 for Congress at Bonneville HS and February 19-20, 2010 for speech and debate at Shelley HS.  If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call.

 

Sincerely,
