Awards Night Postponed

Hey gang -- we are going to postpone our awards night or do it in some other fashion.  I simply have not been able to get everything organized that needs to be done.  We'll do something here before the end of year, just not sure what. 

Stay tuned to the website for more info.

Coach in charge:

Andy Charrier

Things to know: Bring food!  And make sure you clean up wherever you are eating.  

This is the building where I have an office and everybody knows that I coach you guys, 

so you better all be on your very best behavior. :) 

Times:

Friday -- pickup at Lakeville South at 1:45PM; pickup at upper doors of Lakeville North at 2:00PM;

ALL elimination rounds will utilize the public challenge format using the top-down approach.  

This is a weird weekend on the tournament calendar so the tournament will not be huge.  

So we're not going to enter a lot of debaters otherwise we'll end up debating each other too much.
