Tue Jul 21 12:27:28 PDT 2015

Wanted to send out the more formal and official invitation.
Hopefully we see you all in September.

*The BARKLEY FORUM for HIGH SCHOOLS Novice/JV Debates*

*Saturday, September 5, 2015*

*Dear Coach,*

We invite you to Emory to attend the third Barkley Forum for High Schools
Novice/JV Debate Tournament. All divisions will be held on the Emory
University Campus*.*

*Divisions: Novice and Junior Varsity Policy & Novice and Junior Varsity
Public Forum Debate*

A novice policy debater is defined as one who is debating his/her
*first* national
high school resolution at high school tournaments. A J.V. policy debater is
debating his/her *second* national high school resolution. Public Forum
novice debaters and policy novice debaters are defined by the guidelines of
the Georgia Forensic Coaches’ Association.  Middle school experience does
not impact high school eligibility for purposes of this tournament.

*Rules:*

Both policy divisions will use the 8-3-5 format with 10 minutes of
preparation time.  Both Public Forum divisions will use the standard times
governing Public Forum.  The first round will begin promptly at 9:00 a.m.
Late arrivals will forfeit the first round but will be allowed to register
late and begin debating round two. We need your assistance in keeping the
tournament on time. Once pairings are given out, you will have fifteen
minutes to begin the round or forfeit that round.  *Schools will be charged
for no-show judges at a rate of $20 per debate.*

*Entry fees and judging:*

$40 per policy team

$30 per Public Forum team

                $90 per hired judge for two teams, $45 for half a judge

*Judges:*

We will only have a few judges for hire. You *must* *e-mail us about hired
judge needs by August 28th*.  E-mail us at
BARKLEYFORUM at LISTSERV.CC.EMORY.EDU. You will not be able to hire judges at
registration.  If you show up with teams and no judges, they probably will
not be able to compete.  You may use varsity level debaters as judges
(12th grade
preferred; 11th grade if they are mature and experienced; *no 10th graders
allowed*) but they need to be aware that all criticism must be constructive.

*PLEASE MAIL IN FEES AHEAD OF TIME OR BRING THEM TO REGISTRATION. If paying
by check, *make checks payable to: * The Glenn Pelham Foundation for Debate
Education*. The Glenn Pelham Foundation for Debate Education is a
non-profit foundation serving the purpose of debate education for youth.
They are co-sponsoring this tournament.  If interested, you can learn more
about the Glenn Pelham Foundation at http://glennpelham.org/

*Web entry information:*

No changes will be allowed after 3:30 pm on Wednesday, September 2, 2015.
Full fees will be charged for any drops at registration.  *ENTER via*
www.tabroom.com

*(WE WILL NOT ACCEPT ENTRY VIA E-MAIL, FAX, OR PHONE)*—additional
instructions regarding registration will be posted through the GFCA website
soon.  Early registration is advised as space on the Emory campus is
