You can pay me in person at Georgia State, Kentucky, and Harvard by check or cash, or you can mail a check to Sherry Hall, 324 Franklin St., Cambridge, MA 02139. Please make checks payable to "The National Debate Tournament." The dues are set at $50.00. I am not equipped to take credit cards, so if you wish to pay by credit card, you must use the AFA site.

The amount of the subscription fee for the following year is to be established by the Board of Trustees meeting at the National Tournament. b.

Hosts: MPJ/ sanctioning/fees reminder Message-ID: <20080915T115343Z_0A6D00070001@kckcc.edu> Just a friendly reminder to anyone hosting a tournament. If you missed it in the newsletter, please be aware of 2 important constitutional changes that are in place. Beginning last year, any team that is a new/emerging program, can for up to 3 years, request that their entry fees be reduced by 50% for tournament entry. Additionally, they will have their CEDA dues waived for that time period. Any tournament that feels it cannot afford to reduce fees, must submit a request for waiver to the Executive Secretary with time for him to review the matter and make a decision. Beginning this year, any tournament with multiple divisions, that offers MPJ in any division, must offer a form of judge selection in all divisions offered. It does not have to be the same selection criteria for each division, however a minimum amount of preference/strikes/selection must be offered across the board. To clarify: You could do 7 categories in one division, 5 categories in 2 others for example. You could do ABC Strike in 1 division and just strikes in the others. If you have questions about any of the above, I would be glad to talk to you. The Executive Secretary would also be glad to discuss rule interpretations with you.

Additionally we will again present the Coaching Award and the Dr. Amy Fugate Leadership Award. Last year's recipients were Louie Petit of Missouri State receiving the Coaching Award and Dr. Gordon Stables of USC, receiving the Leadership Award. I look forward to presenting this year's awards as well. There will be entertainment options for coaches in the evening if there is interest. Likewise just 3 miles to the West of campus is Village West. It has become the entertainment, dining, and shopping mecca of Kansas and the Mid-West. It has moved Kansas up 15 spots in tourism among all states nationwide. Anything you could want to eat or buy is now available just minutes from the Campus. I encourage everyone to check it out--especially BBQ fans!

Please follow the CEDA guidelines for entering your team in the correct division. We will only collapse divisions if ABSOLUTELY necessary. We will break to the appropriate number of elims based on CEDA sweeps points regulations and number of entries in a division. We will break ? the teams in each division provided a 50% W/L record. If a division does collapse we will still give awards based on how a team finishes in comparison to other teams who would have been eligible for the less experienced division. ENTRIES: Please have your entries to me as soon as possible. I would like them no later than Oct. 8th. The number of Saturday classes on our campus has increased dramatically. Classroom space is limited. As such tournament entries will be secured on a first entered basis. If a wait list is necessary, teams will be notified once the cap is reached. If you are flying to KC, enter early and your spots will be guaranteed. TIME LIMITS: Time limits will be 9-3-6 with 10 minutes of prep time per team. JUDGING: Each school is expected to provide qualified judges to accompany their teams. You are responsible for three rounds of judging for every one team entered. All judges are committed through the first elim debate or one round past their teams' elimination, whichever occurs first. Please do your best to hire judges if you need to as opposed to trying to hire them through us. If you do need to hire a judge, the fee will be $150.00 per uncovered team. Please give me plenty of notice if you need to hire someone. If you are bringing extra judges, let me know how many rounds they would like to be hired for. Judges MUST render a decision by marking a loser and a winner of each debate. Only one team can win and only one can lose. Judges not following this will have their ballot changed with a coin toss and have their best team's record altered by forfeiting a win at the conclusion of prelims. We plan on using some sort of judge preference system depending on entries and availability. If a preference system is used, one will be used in ALL divisions as per CEDA rules. If you are bringing more teams than you can cover, and are splitting your judge commitments among your coaches, it is vital that you have enough judges on elim day to cover at a minimum the number of teams you clear. FEES: The registration fee will be $80.00 per team entered. We will provide Breakfast on Saturday as well as lunch. We will provide breakfast on Sunday morning as well. We will provide drinks and snacks throughout the weekend. Cash is the preferred method of payment so we can pay our vendors over the weekend. A check is the second best option--made out to "Darren Elliott--KCKCC Debate". Unfortunately we cannot take Visa, Mastercard, or Discover at this time. Bartering for chickens, and pigs is always negotiable. Just remember, even if you put lipstick on a pig it is still a pig. SMOKING: Please do not smoke inside buildings on the KCKCC campus. Smoking areas and containers for cigarette butts are located outside throughout the campus. TEAMS: Teams should be comprised of two debaters from the same school or two debaters, each from a different school. All teams, including hybrids will be allowed to advance to elims and win speaker awards. Please notify me early of any 3-person teams you may enter. KCKCC debaters may participate in the tournament and advance to elim rounds. Three-Person teams will be allowed although if multiple three-person teams (2 from different schools) become a reality I will try and get coaches together to make two-person hybrids out of their extra debaters. AWARDS: Teams reaching the elimination debates will receive awards. An appropriate number of speaker awards will be given in each division as well. Collapsed divisions if it has to happen will still be awarded based on finish in comparison to other teams from the less experienced division that was collapsed. We will once again present the Dr. Amy Fugate Leadership Award to a member of CEDA who has distinguished service and leadership in the organization. Previous recipients were ML Sandoz, Jeff Jarman, Eric Morris, Neil Berch and Gordon Stables. We will once again present the Coaches Award, typically designated for an assistant coach, to show appreciation for those who work so hard to keep our programs going. Previous recipients were Heather Walters, James Taylor, Matt Moore, Jason Russell and Louie Petit. We will present the Newcomer Award to any program coming to our tournament for the first time, and the Long Distance Award to the program traveling the farthest to be with us. We will award the Top 3 Critics as voted on by the competitors. We will award 1 team in each Division as ?representing the best there is in competition? as voted on by the competitors. BRACKETS: Brackets will not be broken in elimination debates. HOTEL INFO: There are a number of hotel options near the campus. In the past we have used the Microtel Inn and Suites as a tournament hotel. The Microtel is no longer in operation. That may shock some of you! In its place is a newly renovated, newly managed Days Inn property. I have toured the property and am very pleased with the property, the management, and the levels of service. The changes, including an upgraded computer system for registration, are top notch. The property is within 5 minutes of campus. Please make reservations ASAP. The hotel is located right off of I70 and 78th St exit in Kansas City (Exit #414).

This is not a CEDA endorsement of the email below, the convention site itself, or NCA's decisions. This is merely for your informational purposes. If you have concerns I encourage you to notify the NCA Executive Committee. thanks, chief ----------------------------- Darren Elliott, The NCA Executive Committee acknowledges and understands the concerns some NCA members have expressed about the site of the 2008 NCA convention in San Diego and the ballot issue before California voters banning same-sex marriage. We appreciate and respect the varied views that have been expressed and the passions surrounding these perspectives. NCA hopes that these concerns and passions can fuel a productive and professional debate and discussion about how associations coexist in our society with other not-for-profit organizations involved in advocacy issues. Those of us occupying leadership positions in NCA remain committed to the principles of debate, discussion and dialogue as expressed in our May 2008 CRTNET posting. These principles have been expressed in many NCA policies (available at http://www.natcom.org/nca/Template2.asp?bid=510). It is in that spirit that we are honoring our agreement with the Manchester Grand Hyatt hotel in San Diego. In that same spirit, we have responded to member needs by highlighting programs on marriage, partnerships and commitments in the convention program schedule offering the expertise of scholars and researchers on marriage and close relationships within our discipline to the San Diego community inviting Mr. Manchester, whose donation to a California ballot initiative to ban gay marriage sparked a national debate, to attend the spotlight panels asking communication departments in California to host community forums on issues of defining marriage as an opportunity for voters to share and express a diversity of opinions. While Mr. Manchester is one of several owners of the property, he does not speak for Hyatt Hotels, which is fully responsible for the day-to-day operations of the site of the NCA meeting. Hyatt?s commitment to the GLBT community has resulted in awards from the Human Rights Campaign (the largest GLBT advocacy group in America) Advocate Magazine DiversityInc.com. Advocate Magazine and DiversityInc.com named Hyatt one of the most Gay-friendly employers in the U.S. Hyatt is also a supporter of the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLADD) International Gay Lesbian Travel Association (IGLTA). Unfortunately, two unrelated issues associated with the Manchester Hyatt have been conflated and there is much false information and speculation being circulated. The issue that has arisen more recently concerns hotel workers. Unite Here! has made a number of claims about the hotel?s work policies. Hyatt refutes charges made about the treatment of hotel workers that has aroused the concern of some members of NCA. They point out that Manchester Grand Hyatt employees are not striking nor participating in picket lines. Also, we think it is important for our members to understand that all of our meeting rooms are scheduled in the Hyatt. There are no rooms outside the Hyatt to which we could move meetings and panels. The volume of communication (e.g. CRTNET posts, email, etc.) thus far suggests that our members hold a wide variety of views on both of these issues. Indeed, the Executive Committee members collectively and individually understand the difficulty of this issue especially given the diversity represented on our board in regard to sexual identity. Y However, We appreciate the passion and candor that has marked the discussion thus far and we acknowledge the right of each member to make her or his own decision about attending the convention, hotel selection at the convention and program attendance. Regardless of which dof open dialogue, discussion and debate that are central to our discipline. The Executive Committee and the Executive Director From delliott at kckcc.edu Thu Sep 18 15:47:07 2008 From: delliott at kckcc.edu (Darren Elliott) Date: Thu, 18 Sep 2008 15:47:07 -0500 Subject: [CEDA-L] Ans Stannard re: NCA meeting sites Message-ID: <48D277FB020000930001B1EA@mymail.kckcc.edu> Matt et al, We have received no official word from NCA about moving meetings that are CEDA meetings. As soon as we know the schedule for meetings we will post it to the community. In addition to the notice I posted earlier, there is another email from UNITE that encourages people to stand in solidarity with the picket line. If you would like a copy of that email, please backchannel me. I have not received any edebate postings in my account for 4 days. Unusually quiet I thought. So I checked the archives and saw a lot of traffic. Wonder if anyone else is having this problem. Anyways, wanted to answer Matt's question. chief Darren Elliott Director of Debate and Forensics Kansas City Kansas Community College CEDA President From jbruschke at fullerton.edu Fri Sep 19 12:54:56 2008 From: jbruschke at fullerton.edu (jbruschke at fullerton.edu) Date: Fri, 19 Sep 2008 10:54:56 -0700 Subject: [CEDA-L] Tournament invitation hosted by U.S. Military Academy Message-ID: <8D971748A56D4CE29D011450D3A680AC@AD.FULLERTON.EDU> Name:West Point Invitational Starts:10/17/2008 Ends:10/19/2008 Hosted by: U.S. Military Academy Contact: Address: Department of Social Sciences / 607 Cullum Road / West Point, NY 10997 Phone: 845-938-3411 On-line entry allowed: True AFA Open tournament (open to non-AFA members): True Divisions Offered: Open with 6 prelims, expected to clear to: Quarters JV with 6 prelims, expected to clear to: Quarters Novice with 6 prelims, expected to clear to: Octos Other details are available at: http://www.debateresults.com This tournament may be offered in conjunction with an individual events tournament.

Costume contest - our squad president Laura Wulke requests that folks bring their festive Halloween spirit to the first day of the tournament (or, I guess, the whole weekend if it suits you). We will be awarding prizes for both coaches and competitors decided by a highly biased, to be determined panel. 4. Great hotel rates - we will be using the Woodland Hills Hilton, with a secured room rate of $89 a night. Hope to see you all Halloween weekend. Please feel free to contact me with any questions!

Kephart III, Ph.D. Assistant Professor, Director of Forensics Communication Studies Department California State University - Northridge 18111 Nordhoff Street Northridge CA, 91330-8257 818-677-3043 (office) "Often times it happens that we live our lives in chains, and never even know we have the key" - Glen Fry *2008 California State University at Northridge* Robert Barbara Invitational Speech and Debate Tournament Dear Forensics Colleagues: On behalf of the CSUN Forensics Society, the Department of Communication Studies, and the Mike Curb College of Arts Media and Communication at CSU-Northridge, we would like to invite you to participate in our 2008 tournament. Competition will be held from October 31-November 2 on our campus. California State University at Northridge is located in the heart of the beautiful San Fernando Valley, just outside of Los Angeles. It is easily (and inexpensively) served by both Los Angeles International Airport and Bob Hope International Airport (Burbank). Travel times from either airport to our campus are usually under 30 minutes. *Highlights include:* 1) *Parliamentary Debate will be 2 days, not 3. *We have arranged the schedule to have NPDA on only Friday and Saturday. This will save you money and time that you would have spent to be here all three days as in the past. It will also allow your parliamentary debaters to participate in our IE tournament. 2) *Southern California in November. *Usually a weekend of sunshine, you get the chance to chase away those winter blues and take in the breathtaking beauty of the San Fernando Valley*. * * *3) *Costume Contest*. It is, after all, Halloween. Team president Laura Wulke urges all competitors and coaches to come in costume. To aid in her mission to have everyone enjoy Halloween as much as she does, we will award prizes in two divisions: Coaches and Competitors. * * This will be a full service tournament offering two preliminary rounds in all 11 AFA individual events (both novice and open when possible) on Sunday, two divisions of NPDA Parliamentary Debate, and three divisions of policy debate. We will have six debate prelims and the appropriate number of out-rounds. In the past, we have had strong regional and national representation in all three events. We are committed to and will uphold the ethical standards outlined in the CEDA Statement on Discrimination and Sexual Harassment and the AFA Code of Ethics. November is a fantastic time to visit Los Angeles and we will make every effort to host an excellent competition. Breakfast is offered on Saturday and Sunday and lunch is provided on Saturday. We have always run on time and we do our best to make the tournament fun and healthy for competitors, judges, and coaches. Please contact me with any questions you may have. On behalf of CSUN forensics, we hope you can join us in November! Sincerely, John M.

I have just added it to the front page of the ceda website http://cedadebate.org/ and anyone can download the document. This is a public document and should be shared with all members. We invite feedback either directly or to your elected CEDA regional representative. The primary item I would highlight is that the emphasis is on adopting new procedures for enforcing the norms and values we have already expressed in our documents. The proposal really tries to avoid creating a lot of new 'offenses' and instead focuses on providing generally reasonable procedures for violations of the norms that we already have expressed in our governing documents. The proposal can be revised and a final draft will be submitted for formal consideration at our NCA business meeting. Thanks to everyone, especially Scott Elliott, who worked on this important document. Scott did a great deal of work and deserves our thanks.
