Hello all you Debate types!
As we approach the MIFA Novice State Debate Tournament for this year, I hope all of you are planning to attend. The tournament is a two-person team tournament and all schools may enter one or two teams. Only ONE team may advance in elimination rounds.
We did not increase the cost for a team again this year. This tournament has continued to hold its own financially for the last four years and thus we have had no increase in fees. Well done! That means the same fee covers one or two teams in the tournament.
We solicited sites for the tournament through the online calendar. Only Dexter High School repsonded to the request so we will meet again at Dexter High School on December 2-3, 2011 for five preliminary time slots and out rounds as appropriate. Please indicate your intent to participate by signing up in the MIFA store not later than November 28. Earlier is better, but we will not be extending the deadline this year. It was problematic last year when we did. We extended the sign up date to the last possible moment for fairness. So, forewarning! Also note, that 5 time slots for rounds may not mean 5 debates. If there are an uneven number of teams, we will be forced to have a bye round and that will necessitate reducing preliminary debate rounds to four.
Once you sign up for the tournament we will confirm with all the specifics. You can pay online through the store or you can choose to be billed. We will send billing asap and expect payment at the registration of the tournament. Please have checks made out to Michigan Interscholastic Forensic Association. If you pay online, please bring your receipt.
I look forward to seeing you at the tournament.
This message has gone out to all coaches of debate who are members of MIFA this year and to those of you who were members last year and have not renewed membership. If you want to attend this great tournament, get that membership taken care of right away. You can do that online too here. Now that school funding has calmed down a little, you might find it easier.
Once more, I appreciate all you are doing for speech activities in the state of Michigan. It is more important now than ever before.
Steve Marsh, Executive Director
