Resolution: There will be 3 impromptu rounds. All prep will be done between 5 PM and 6 PM. No outside material or access to the internet, coaching, etc. is allowed once the motions have been released. The rules are on the MSDA site at https://sites.google.com/site/manitobadebate/home.
The six top teams in this competition will represent Manitoba at the National Debate Championships in Vancouver from April 20-23 (these dates could vary by a day – they have not sent the invitation yet), with no more than 1 team per school until all schools with teams in the top half of the tournament are sending 1 team. To be eligible for the Senior Nationals, a school must be a member of the MSDA and must participate in this qualifying tournament. Students selected for the Senior Nationals will have to pay a fee to cover travel and registration costs. The MSDA has made a group booking for the flights so students will not be booking their own flights.
In addition, the top team per school will be eligible to attend the Donahoe Cup tournament in Halifax, April 7th – 9th. Teams that are selected for the Sr. Nationals may not go to the Donahoe Cup as well but the next best team from those schools can attend the Donahoe. Again, students selected for the Donahoe will have to pay a fee to cover travel and registration costs.
Schools may send a maximum of 3 teams plus 1 team for every MSDA tournament hosted this year. Since this is a qualifying tournament, there will not be a novice category. Depending upon numbers, it may be possible to send additional teams. If you would like to do so please indicate this on the form and we will let you know on March 1 if space is available. Schools must bring one judge per team. High school students may not be judges. If this causes great problems for you, please let me know and it may be possible to make other arrangements.
Please send the following information to John Robinson at manitobadebate@gmail.com no later than Wednesday, Feb 27th. Please email if you have any questions.
