Requests for housing must be received by October 1, 2005. For adult coaches and chaperones, we recommend the Peekskill Motor Inn, 634 Main Street, Peekskill, New York, 10566 (914/739-1500). This is "leaf season," so reserve early. Fees The entry fee for each two-person debate team is $80. The entry fee for each Lincoln-Douglas entry is $35.

A very limited number of judges will be available for hire at a rate of $200 per judge. Requests for hired judging must be received by October 1, 2005.

senghasmic 70 Report post Posted October 13, 2005 What is this "sophomore breakout"? Does it preclude a team from breaking to the real elims? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pointlessness413 7 Report post Posted October 13, 2005 It doesn't preclude them, it means the top (probably 4, maybe 8) sophomore teams that don't clear in the regular tournament will have their own elimination rounds, for experience purposes only. (well, I think there'll be trophies and stuff, but no bids, you know what I mean) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Antonucci23 410 Report post Posted October 14, 2005 The circumstances surrounding the Lakeland upgrade are unfortunate... That said, the region collectively owes Stefan and the Lakeland crew a heartfelt thank you for stepping up and maintaining Northeastern bids. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All of burlington is going except for Anna/Meaghan. If this is butterly/tell butterly: I haven't researched the thing we were talking about yet, but I'll try to do so before lakeland.

Yeah, I have the list of teams. Hit me up on AIM at some point, I'll show you. No worries with the breakage thing. I guess we could practice round it up with that arg if we have to, though if we don't break we'll be in the soph breakout thingie. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
