Greetings Colleagues,
>
>Please consider attending the Northwest Debate Warm-up to be held at Western
>Washington University September 20-22. This event has traditionally been
>the warm-up for policy teams in the region, but we would like to invite
>parliamentary programs to consider attending as well.
>
>As it is a warm-up event please consider:
>
>We will only offer 1 division. This is not intended for novices first taste
>of debate since it is so early in the season. However, many programs may
>consider putting novices with experienced debaters for this warm-up event if
>they are interested in getting novices some early tournament experience.
>
>Parliamentary debate will be just FRIDAY and SATURDAY. Given the feedback
>at the Northwest Forensic Conference meeting this seems to be the desire of
>most parliamentary only programs. Obviously there is a tension between
>feedback time after debates and trying to finish in two days, we hope the
>schedule accommodates most teams best interests.
>
>We WILL NOT accept any teams for entry that do not have their judges
>covered. We simply have no hired judges. NOTE: Policy and parli will
>obviously follow different schedules. Therefore Judges need to be either
>policy only or parli only.
>
>Parliamentary teams are invited to the banquet Saturday night, but it is not
>required for those with travel plans. Instead of having your entry fees
>cover the banquet we will designate a local eatery as the location, and you
>may spend as little or as much as you like there.
