Dear Colleagues:

 

Memorial High School in Houston invites you to compete in the Rex Fleming Memorial Tournament on September 26^th and 27th, 2007.  We are proud that our tournament is a Semis Bid in Policy and a Finals Bid in Lincoln-Douglas Debate, as well as a Texas Forensic Association Qualifier for member schools.  This tournament will offer top-quality competition and judging, thanks largely to many Houston area debate coaches who have committed to make this tournament successful. In addition to Championship divisions of Policy and Lincoln-Douglas Debate we will also offer Duo Interp, Domestic and Foreign Extemporaneous Speaking, Novice Extemporaneous Speaking, Original Oration, Dramatic and Humorous Interpretation, Prose, Poetry, Impromptu, and novice divisions of both policy and value debate. In keeping with TOC and TFA guidelines, we can only accept entries from official school sponsors:  All competitors must be accompanied by their coach or qualified adult.

PLEASE NOTE THAT ALL VARSITY POLICY DEBATE ROUNDS WILL BE HELD AT THE KINKAID SCHOOL, 201 KINKAID DRIVE, HOUSTON 77024.  KINKAID IS LOCATED ABOUT 6 MINUTES FROM THE MEMORIAL HIGH SCHOOL CAMPUS.
  

Entries may begin immediately upon posting of this invitation.  Our facilities are  limited this year, as we are not using other campuses.  The deadline for entries is September 19th, but please register early, as we expect to be full long before this date.  You will be charged for entries as they are made, so please feel free to add them incrementally up to the time the event closes.  In varsity debate, all schools will be initially restrictedto no more than 4 Policy Teams and 5 Lincoln-Douglas Debaters. There will be an initial maximum of 3 entries per IE and Duo Interp. Special consideration will be given to teams from outside the state of Texas.  On September 19 at 4pm CST the website closes, fees are set, and you must contact Memorial Debate in order to make any changes to your entry.

 

 

 

We hope to see you in September.
