Hello --
You will find the State Debate Championship invite attached to this email.
A few things to note:
When I receive all of the congress bills I will send them out for a quick vote to help set the docket.
Top vote getters will be in super/honors congress. The remaining bills will be for prelims. Each
school will have a bill on the docket before any school's second bill is added.
NSAA State LD debate will be held on Friday, March 20. The Nebraska State Activities
Association is in charge of that tournament. Your entries are due to the NSAA office by March 2. Your activities director will have the information for that tournament. The NSCTA tournament
will start that evening (Friday) with POLICY ONLY. On Saturday morning we will continue
the policy tournament and begin public forum and congress.
If you have any questions please let me know.
