The Greenhill Debate team cordially invites you to attend the 22nd annual Greenhill Fall Classic Debate Tournament on September 13th – 15th, 2008. We will try to offer you and your students not only outstanding academic competition but also a pleasant tournament experience. Rest assured the 22nd edition of the Greenhill Fall Classic will be a special one. Please notice the tournament schedule. Lincoln-Douglas Debate rounds will be held on Saturday and Sunday. Policy rounds will be held Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. Greenhill is proud to be designated as a University of Kentucky Tournament of Champions qualifying tournament for both cross-examination teams and Lincoln-Douglas debaters reaching the octo-finals as well as a maximum point earner for the National Debate Coaches Association Championships. Please read the invitation carefully in that it contains new and important information that will affect all those attending the tournament.
Last year, over 100 schools, 101 cross-examination teams and 121 Lincoln-Douglas debaters from 24 states competed in the Fall Classic. We expect an outstanding and competitive field this year as well. Entries must be received by Monday, September 1st. However, we recommend you enter at the earliest possible date. We have been full long before the deadline in the past several years so please enter early to ensure entry. Those coaches requesting a second team will be notified no later than August 22nd to give you at least 21 days to purchase airline tickets if need be. Please read the section on the new entry procedures. All entries must be submitted on this website. Please do not email or call in entries - they will not be accepted.
We are returning to the Crowne Plaza Hotel North Dallas - Addison, 14315 Midway Road, Addison, Texas, 75001, phone number: 972.980.8877. After negotiating with this newly renovated property they have offered amenities that will benefit all those attending the tournament including substantially reduced rates, free internet access, a free continental breakfast for debaters, coaches and judges on Monday morning and updated rooms for all. The Crowne Plaza property is also about 50 yards from the Greenhill campus if those with budget constraints wish to forgo renting a car although there are great things to see and places to eat in Dallas if your travel schedule permits. The hotel is located within 2 miles of 120 restaurants. Registration will take place on Friday evening at the Crowne Plaza between 7:30 and 10:30 p.m.
