Angus Reid Tournament 17-18

18th Annual Angus Reid Tournament

Location: Saint Paul’s High School – 2200 Grant Avenue, Winnipeg.

Time: Tuesday, 27 February 2018. Registration for both debaters and judges: 5:00-5:30 PM; awards at approximately 9 PM.

Parking: Please use the Student Parking Lot off of Bower Blvd (west side of the school). The lot is between Shaftesbury High School and Saint Paul’s. Use the entrance adjacent to this lot only. Other entrances will be locked.

RESOLVED: Countries that threaten the peace and security of other nations should not be allowed to compete in the Olympics.

The tournament will consist of two rounds of cross-examination debate, where teams will debate for both the affirmative and negative sides in consecutive rounds. Constructive speeches may be no longer than 5 minutes, followed by 3 minutes for cross-examination, and 3 minutes for final rebuttals. Neither heckling nor squirrelling are permitted. See cross-examination rules at https://sites.google.com/site/manitobadebate/resources-for-debaters-and-coaches/rules-and-scoresheets/cross-ex-rules

All teams will register as open. Schools may send a maximum of three teams, although schools may request more (subject to space availability – decisions will be made no later than 22 February 2018). The debate is capped at 44 teams, so early registration is encouraged.

Each school must bring one judge for every team registered in the tournament. If this is problematic, please let me know. Judges may not be high school students for this tournament.

This is a senior tournament, open to students in grades 10-12 only. Please do not register junior teams.

Please register online at http://bit.ly/2EKVWxP on or before Thursday, February 22, 2018.

Looking forward to seeing you all on the 27^th.
