<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>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. <br>
<br>
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. <br>
<br>
For the record, Danny is a sophomore and he went 1-3 at Calhoun and (I think)
1-3 at Alpharetta last year. <br>
