The Mississippi Forensic League

is proud to welcome you to

The NFL Debate Qualifiers

 

Coaches,

 

We hope to see each of you and your debate competitors at the 2012 District Debate Qualifiers.  This year’s debate competition will take place at St. Joseph Catholic School on March 23-24, 2012.  Students that place in the top 2-3 (depending on entry numbers) will represent the Mississippi District this summer at the National Forensic League National Tournament in Indianapolis, Indiana.

 

Below are a few reminders to follow:

·         Students may only enter one debate event.

·         If a student enters a debate event and duo interpretation it must be the same partnership in both.

·         REGISTRATION MUST BE COMPLETED ONLINE AT JOYOFTOURNAMENTS.COM AS WELL AS A HARD COPY SENT TO THE ADDRESS PROVIDED BELOW.

·         Please read all materials provided on this website (or mailing) as well as the NFL’s District Tournament Manual to understand how the tournament works.  http://www.nflonline.org/uploads/AboutNFL/DistrictTournamentOperationsManualV3_0_0102710.pdf

·         All deadlines should be followed exactly.  Failure to do so could result in your student not being able to compete at National Qualifiers.

·         ALL COMPETITORS competing at any of the three NFL National Qualifiers MUST have at least a Degree of Merit (25 NFL points).

·         Students may use computers for debate, but no connectivity is allowed.  If a student is caught with a connection to the Internet they will be automatically disqualified.

·         If you have any questions please contact me.  E-mail is best.  Please do not make assumptions.

 

We hope that this will be a fun weekend for all, but it will take us all working together in order to do that.  Again, if you need to contact me, you can in the following ways:
