Friends and Colleagues,  
The James Madison  University Debate Program is pleased to invite you to the 
JMU Invitational which  will be held in Harrisonburg, VA, on February 14-16, 
2003. We wish to make  this year's tournament an enjoyable and competitive 
experience.  
There will be six  (6) preliminary rounds of open, junior varsity and novice 
debate. The CEDA  resolution will be used in all divisions. The tournament 
will be CEDA, NDT and  ADA sanctioned.  Entry fees will be $65.00 per team. We 
expect to have a very small pool of hired  judges available please attempt to 
cover your commitment.  
The invitation details are enclosed with this  letter.  If you have any 
questions,  please do not hesitate to contact us. 
On behalf of JMU debate, we hope to see you at  James  Madison University in 
December! 
Sincerely,

Tournament  Details 
AWARDS  
Awards will be presented to all teams  reaching the elimination rounds. 
Speaker awards will be given on the basis of  the number of entries.  

JUDGES  
Each school is responsible for providing  three rounds of judging for every 
two debaters in the tournament, or six rounds  for every four debaters entered. 
As you can imagine the number of hired judges  in the Harrisonburg area is 
limited so please let us  know early if you need to hire judging. Hired judging 
is available at a fee of  $25.00 per round for team debate. We would rather 
have your judges than your  money. 
We will use mutual preference judging as  entries permit. We anticipate at a 
minimum being able to use a ranking system  (A,B,C). 
CHANGES  
Because alterations to teams' original  entries have the habit of occurring, 
we request that you notify Michael Davis as  soon as possible. Michael may be 
reached at (540) 568-7308. We can also be  reached via email at 
davismk at jmu.edu.
