I will post an updated list as soon as I do receive it. If you are attending the Kentucky tournament this weekend, you can pay me directly. I have receipts and can accept cash or check. Anyone wishing to pay by credit card, must do so through the AFA website. The dues are $50.00 if paid before November 1, 2009. I also have not updated the information on the Bruschke site yet. I will try to get to that by the end of the week. Thanks Sherry -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Tournaments, research, family, faculty committees, contract negotiations, etc. Not excuses just reality. So without any further delay: A huge thanks to the Panthers at UNI for an excellent tournament. Katie is a great DOF-a Professional that deserves the respect afforded professionals! I hope those in attendance showed you that, as anyone who was there knows you went above and beyond to accomodate your guests. Ditto goes for Richard Tews. A great new member of the Mid-West and welcome to it. We are glad you are here. You ran an excellent and efficient tab. Again, I hope the guests you went out of your way to value, appreciated it and valued you right back. The UNI debaters/forensicators were always on the job and living the true spirit of Cate in getting rounds started on time. Also very hospitable and helpful. It was nice to see Cate and an excellent idea to name the Novice Award after her. Well Done!! Thanks UNI!! Anyone who wasnt here, well their bad! chief Darren Elliott Director of Debate and Forensics KCKCC -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

A couple things to attend to. Please finalize your judging commitments as soon as you can. I want to enable prefs by Thursday morning. Right now a number of you have not entered enough judges. Only JCCC has contacted the tournament about hiring judges so I am assuming the rest of you are covered. If you are coming and want to hire out for rounds that you have that are extra to give, please let me know. We will need to hire rounds. Please finalize entries/names if you have not done so yet. Looks like Quarters in Open and Novice and close to partial Octos in JV. At least 2 other schools indicated they might come but have not entered. If you are coming, please enter.

Due by 10pm Thursday night to guarantee in effect for RDS 1 and 2 Friday. Open teams have 30 judges. JV/Novice have 35. Open teams should reduce A+ and B+ by 2. Reduce C+ by 1. Using A-B-C and Everyone gets 2 strikes. This will make judging tight potentially. Might beg people to judge an extra round especially in Rd 5 and 6. We may place a mutual strike in a debate with teams whose records are non-clearing records. We have avoided this in all years past. Despite the size of the pool and various constraints, more proof A-B-C across all divisons is possible. And we are happy to do it! If you have questions, please let me know. Look forward to seeing you all Friday. thanks, chief -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

We write with a couple of announcements and one very important request. First, since Halloween falls on Saturday this year, we think it only fitting that our traditional costume contest take place on Saturday. Given the increased size of the tournament, we will take the extra time to *power match round four*. A small snack will be provided during this break. Judging for the costume contest will begin with the conclusion of round two and proceed through lunch and round three, ending with the power match break before round four. Mapes got extra points for wearing his ?Tinker Bell? costume ?including the stilettos? all day! Appropriate prizes will be awarded. Second, we have for the first time secured wireless Internet access for all participants at the tournament on campus. Required codes and passwords will be distributed at registration. Unfortunately, the wireless reception at Sever Hall is sketchy since there is no wireless hub in the building. However, surrounding buildings will have reliable access. Third, final preparations are being made to the menu for the tournament and that will be posted next week. Fourth, there are still ten teams on the wait list. Several of them are anxious to make travel arrangements. If you have teams entered that will not be attending, please drop them now. Also, the hotel has sold all of the double-doubles and all of the rooms with king size beds and fold-out sofas. If you have extra hotel rooms, please make them available to other schools currently on the wait list for the rooms. You can do this by emailing or asking to speak to Gary Orswell at the Holiday Inn. We look forward to seeing you all in a couple of weeks. Sherry and Dallas -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

These have been modeled after the successful approach at Crossx.com and they offer us an opportunity to provide an organized way for our community to communicate. Forums are available for tournaments, regional issues, questions of community practice, organizational questions and a lot more. The forums are now active and open for anyone to sign up at http://cedadebate.org/forum/. Registering is free and simple. This is an organizationally sponsored opportunity for us to communicate as a community. For too long, we have been willing to freeride on the labors (and technology) of others, especially Phil Kerpin. Our free-riding has left us unable to organize the discussions or exercise concern when lines are crossed. The forum rules outside the emphasis on free speech and open conversation with the ability to moderate discussions. I want to thank Phil for his years of hard work and service. His forum will continue to be an entirely unmoderated site. Our platform today offers a way to exchange the information that we need. Jeff and community volunteers will help keep the site functioning the best way possible. To that end, if you have suggestions in how to organize forums to better serve your needs, please let us know. For years the community resisted moving to a different platform because of the perceived difficulties of getting everyone to move with them. This prisoner's dilemma should end now. Thanks to the labors of Jon Bruschke, debateresults now sends direct emails with pairings and tournament information. Much of what we would 'miss' without a public listserv is now sent directly to coaches and students. The challenge is to build a place for the rest of the news and discussions. We think the CEDA forums are that place. I am asking coaches, students, alumni and administrators to move your traffic about our community to the forums. I will be the first to take the plunge and announce that CEDA will begin using the forums for our organizational traffic, in addition to using its website emails and the CEDA-L. Please let Jeff or I know if you have any trouble with the site. We have tried to learn from the success of other communities and we think this platform is long overdue. We just need your help in making this transition possible.

If you paid through the site after that date, I will not receive that information until November. After November 1, the NDT dues will double from $50.00 to $100.00. If you have not yet paid, I urge to do so before they go up. You can pay me directly at the St. Mark's High School tournament in Dallas next weekend, or at the Harvard tournament by check or cash. You can mail a check made payable to the National Debate Tournament to me at Sherry Hall, 324 Franklin St., Cambridge, MA, 02139. You can pay by credit card on the AFA website. If you have paid on the AFA website since October 1, it is not necessary for you to send me a receipt before November 1, but make sure that you have one in case you do not show up on the updated list I will receive in November. As long as your payment was received on the AFA site by November 1, you will not be charged the higher fee.

If you still receive them, let me know. Second, I have added the last new feature for this year. The site will let you enter emails for people you want to receive tournament updates -- like the school newspaper, your Chair or Dean, alumni, donors, etc. You can then click one button and have the site generate a press-release style message that includes all your performances at the tournament and, if you wish, includes some basic information about tournament-style policy debate for those who may not be aware of the format (like the student newspaper, Chair, or Dean). You can edit the message any way you wish before you send it. As unsolicited advise, sending messages like these after every tournament might keep your campus aware of how active your program is. My experience has been that by sending repeated messages many good things happen: the student newspaper gets used to running the stories, the Chair or Dean already have you on the radar when it comes time to publicize the successes of the department, and the sheer volume of awards makes you seem very successful. It is my hope that this site makes it incredibly easy to publicize your program. After you enter the initial emails, just wait until the CEDA or NDT points post to any tournament you attend and you can send the message out in about 1 minute. The link is in the bottom-right-hand part of the page. From gregachten at berkeley.edu Tue Oct 13 18:47:49 2009 From: gregachten at berkeley.edu (gregachten at berkeley.edu) Date: Tue, 13 Oct 2009 16:47:49 -0700 Subject: [CEDA-L] 2010 California Swing Tournaments - Invite Message-ID: 2009 Cal Invitational Debates Dear Colleagues, The University of California, Berkeley is pleased to announce the continuation of the California Swing tournaments both of which will be hosted this year on our main campus in Berkeley. The tournaments will run January 3-5 and 7-9 with registration on January 2nd. The tournaments will offer six preliminary rounds of team topic debate as well as appropriate elimination rounds in open, junior and novice divisions. The preliminary rounds will be held on the main Berkeley campus with the elimination rounds held at the Oakland Convention Center. The tournament hotel for the tournament is the Marriott Oakland City Center which is attached to the Convention Center. Cal is planning to host both CEDA and the NDT in 2010 and we are using the same tournament hotel and elimination round facilities that we will use for those tournaments. We sincerely hope that you will attend our tournament this year as we would like to prepare the hotel for these tournaments. Although the Cal team is well versed in running large debate tournaments, the Oakland City Center Marriott is not, so the more teams that attend the more realistic this test-run will be. I strongly urge you to stay at the Marriott. This is an outstanding facility with excellent elimination round facilities. I have managed to secure a tournament rate of $117 per night for up to 4 people per room. We have a block of rooms and the block expires a month before the tournament begins. You can make reservations now by calling 1-888-236-2427 and asking for the Cal Swing Debate Tournament rate. MAKE YOUR HOTEL RESERVATIONS NOW! Last year many people were squeezed out of the tournament hotel because they failed to make reservations in a timely manner. The cutoff date for the event is December 1 and it is possible our block will be full before then. Keep in mind that this is an urban hotel and you will be required to pay for parking. The self parking rate is $22 per night and the valet rate is $26 per night. Two changes to our traditional tournaments to note. First, we will be serving lunch on each of the prelim days in order to both expedite the schedule and to test out catering options for the NDT. Our fee structure reflects this change. Second, in order to help folks defray costs we are going to offer an evidence and people shuttle service to and from campus. This will allow you to avoid renting a car and incurring both rental and parking fees, both of which can add up in Berkeley. We will offer an evidence shuttle and shuttle service to and from campus for $30 per person per tournament. Information about this service will be provided below in the invitation as well as via email as the tournament approachesl For general info about the hotel go to http://www.marriott.com/hotels/travel/oakdt-oakland-marriott-city-center/ We are pleased to be able to host a tournament at Berkeley. If you have any questions or need any additional information please feel free to contact me. Sincerely, Greg Achten Tournament Director/Co-Director of Debate 818-357-8424 Transportation: I strongly urge those flying to use Oakland International. It is much closer to campus, much easier to navigate and often much cheaper as it is served by discount carriers Southwest and JetBlue. Directions to Hotel: Transportation Information: From Oakland International Airport: Mileage: 8 Miles Exit airport. Take Hegenberger Rd to I-880 N. Exit Broadway and turn right. Go 3 blocks, turn left on 10th St. Make right turns around the block to hotel entrance. Evidence/People shuttling: We can get you to and from campus for $30 per person per tournament. There is also a BART train station right across the street from the hotel and one 5 minutes from campus if you wish to go back to the hotel early in the day. You will be responsible for getting yourself to and from the airport. I recommend two shuttle services: Bayporter (bayporter.com) or Super Shuttle (supershuttle.com) Parking: Parking in Berkeley is expensive and scarce. We will have a limited number of parking permits available for sale for $25 each per tournament. This is generally cheaper than you will find in Berkeley and much closer. If you wish to order a parking permit or permits please email that request to me as soon as possible, but by December 1 at the latest. Campus Policies: The Berkeley Campus is a smoke-free campus. There is no smoking in ANY building on campus. PLEASE abide by this policy so that we may continue to use these facilities in subsequent years. The Berkeley campus is also a drug and alcohol free campus. Entry Information: Online entry is required at www.debateresults.com Tab Room: The tab room will be run by myself (Greg Achten), Jon Bruschke. Becky Opsata and Glen Frappier. Procedures: Brackets will not be broken in elimination rounds and sides in elims will be determined by a coin flip between the opponents unless they met in the preliminary rounds. Hybrids and mavericks will be allowed on a case by case basis and only in extraordinary circumstances. Our tournament supports and adheres to the CEDA Anti- Sexual Harassment Policy. Divisions: We will use the joint CEDA-NDT policy topic. We will offer Open (any undergraduate meeting AFA eligibility requirements)and Junior (any undergraduate student that meets the CEDA definition of a JV debater) and Novice (any undergraduate in their first year of debate that meets the CEDA definition of a novice debater). We reserve the right to collapse divisions if entries warrant. In the Varsity division we will clear all 4-2 teams under the following conditions: should entries warrant, we will clear to a full double-octo final (assuming we have 64 entries in the division). Absent that a partial double-octo-final round will be held ONLY if it would involve 8 teams or 4 debates. In the event that fewer than 4 partial debates would occur, we will cut 4-2?s on points and other tie-breakers and will recognize teams not advancing at the awards ceremony. Fees: Fees will be $50 per person including judges and observers. This will include breakfast and lunch each day or prelims. Judging: Each school is expected to provide 3 rounds of judging per team. For each team beyond the first two, we ask that schools provide 4 rounds of judging. This is in line with the judging expectation at many other major national tournaments and we ask this to maximize our ability to place highly preferred judges in important debates. Each judge will be obligated for through the octafinal or one round beyond the elimination of their team. We have some hired judges that we can provide, but not many. Hired judges will be given on a first come, first served basis at a fee of $150 per uncovered team. We are not trying to make money on hired judges. We would much rather have your judges than your money. If you have extra judges available from your school please let me know as we would probably like to hire them. We will use preference/strike sheets for prelims and elims. All judges are expected to render a decision within 2 hours and 45 minutes of the start time of the debate. If a judge has failed to render their decision by this time, the tab room will ask the judge to vote in the next minute. If the judge fails to vote by this time, the tab room will decide the debate through the flip of a coin. This policy applies to preliminary rounds only. Each judge must designate one, and only one, team as the winner of the debate. We will use a 30 point scale. Points may be awarded in full and half point increments only.

I can proudly say, "No!" We will not be microwaving the food, or blasting it with radiation. We will continue to strive to bring you the freshest, healthiest and tastiest food we can. Aunt Vickie is once again coming from Texas to ensure that we provide sufficiently delicious desserts. We will also continue with the pledge we made last year to ensure that none of your tournament fees will be used to subsidize CAFOs -- all of our meats, eggs, and dairy products will be purchased either from local farmers, or vendors who guarantee that their products come from farmers committed to humane farming practices without the use of antibiotics and/or hormones. We also plan to emphasize more healthy mid-day snacking options than the pounds and pounds of candy we have given away in the past. We look forward to seeing everyone in a couple of weeks, and hope that we have nice weather for your visit. The Harvard tournament is the last opportunity you will have to pay me your NDT dues before they double. I will post an updated list of subscribers as soon as I receive it from Jim Pratt at the AFA.

It can certainly be argued that things like "the code of conduct" and the "policy debate forums" are attempts at making what we do "safer" to the outside world, I worry more than a little (after decades of foulcault debates) that we are beginning to "tame" our wild things to make us all fit into an outside world acceptable package. This is certainly not to denigrate the fine work of Gordon (maybe the only thing aside from the Yankees I have ever disagreed with him about) or Jeff (who is one of my oldest friends in the activity) but this move seems, at best, non-organic to me. Many of you will be suprised I take this position, but those people probably misread many of the things I have posted in the past. My position was never that "wild things" should not exist or that we should "silence" or "discipline" them. My position was to present some arguments that could be made against people in debate rounds when they were "wild." Reason was the emphasis of my arguments (actually the crux of my arguments have always been best educational practices/experiences). To many, these are calls to the same thing (judges decision disciplines - teachers grading disciplines - etc etc) but to me it was a call to dialog between people on the so-called inside (tradition) and outside (wild things) in order to find a place we could all have meaningful discussions together. In other words, I value the ORGANIC process of good arguments beating bad arguments. If, the arguments were all made for this forums value...but people still prefer receiving and discussing things on edebate...why are we trying to "force" a move to this space? Talking about those reasons should be the basis of an argument that attempts to persuade the larger community to vote with its feet and participatate in this space instead of an alternative space. I have heard the arguments from my professional colleagues but remain unconvinced that the best solution is to participate here and let edebate die the death of a thousand swords. I know there is a kind of legitimacy that only a cleaned up Times Square could provide to a revitalized New York City and that a starbucks on every corner gives instead of an ethnic deli....But I really miss the old NYC. I don't want debate to become Giulianni's or Bloomberg's debate 2.0 Part of me likes the world where outsiders, outliers, pirates, and rogues roam the bandwidth. I think we lose something very special about our activity when we stop embracing the corners (dark or otherwise) of our debate reality.

It is better to make them now and cancel if you must than to wait and try to find rooms after the block fills.
