[GFCA] Novice classification request

[Eric Crisp]

Thanks for all the responses so far. I'm looking at possibly as early as Northview (12Nov) for this student. So far, nine of you have weighed in supporting my request and one against. I agree that a formal process would be best at this point. I can find no reference in the By-Laws. Anyone have info?

This seems very reasonable to me. Does the GFCA have a process for such an instance?
Thanks,

I have a scheduling difficulty. I have a single returning debater (Danny Bunn) from last year who competed at two tournaments last year. The entirety of my team otherwise are true novice without even any middle school experience. Last year was the first year of debate for Ridgeland since the late 80's or early 90's.
I realize that coaches might at times just go ahead and enter Danny in Novice, but I wanted to ask for a waiver from the group first. I think it would be appropriate for him to compete at this point in the year in Novice CX, though he has debated twice under a previous resolution. He has not been to any policy competitions this year because I've not had anyone I could pair with him.
For the record, Danny is a sophomore and he went 1-3 at Calhoun and (I think) 1-3 at Alpharetta last year.
