Judging Assignment:  50 points

It is time for the last part of your tournament hosting assignment.  We are not hosting a second novice tournament, but we do need judges for districts.  Each advanced student is responsible for bringing in one judge for the tournament.  We need 1 judge for each team entering the tournament (count on 4 teams entering).  We also need judges to cover novice rounds on Saturday.  We need 1 judge for every 2 teams entered.  We will have a few teams that still need a tournament and we have a few kids that are very close to lettering.  Do not count yourself as a judge for Saturday because you could still be competing.  Saturday's novice judges are committed for 5 rounds.   District tournament judges are responsible for Friday and possibly Saturday - up until they are released by the tournament. 

Judges for the district tournament need to fill out a paradigm sheet.

The tournament season is winding down.  Some students have not yet completed all of their tournament and/or practice requirements.  Soon, I will be putting in "0's" for missing grades. 

Debate Topic for Fall 09:

Resolved:  The United States federal government should substantially increase social services for persons living in poverty in the United States.
