We cordially invite you to our Evanston High School Speech and Debate Tournament to be held on Friday and Saturday, January 20-21, 2017 at Evanston High School. Events We will be offering the following events:
In all HOPE pattern events, we will have three preliminary rounds, with an included 4th round in the D pattern. Poetry competitors must use a manuscript. Humor, Oratory, Drama, and Duo must be memorized. Extemp will contain both international questions and national questions. We will have an initial entry limit of 5 per event but will accept entries off the waiting lists as space allows. Fees All individual events will be assessed a $10.00 fee per entry. Partner events will be assessed a $16.00 fee per entry. Debate Resolutions Policy The United States federal government should substantially increase its economic and/or diplomatic engagement with the People’s Republic of China.
Lincoln-Douglas Resolved: Public colleges and universities in the United States ought not restrict any constitutionally protected speech.
Public Forum Resolved: In order to better respond to international conflicts, the United States should significantly increase its military spending. Ties in debate will be broken by power of opposition first, followed by speaker points.
Doubling: Students may double or triple at their own risk. I will instruct judges to wait up to five (5) minutes. Students doubling in extemporaneous speaking may not receive complete prep time.
Congressional Debate will occur in the HOPE pattern per Wyoming Forensic State Rules and there will be three sessions and a Super Congress. Students will NOT be allowed to double in Congressional Debate and any other event in the HOPE pattern (for the integrity of the event)
