    We have free wi-fi at Bellaire HS. (policy location)

    The judges meeting is starting 14 minutes late. The judges instruction sheet has a typo that indicates there is a third negative rebuttal. 2NR’s everywhere rejoice

    i hope this doesnt sound like rude or something because i dont intend it to, but have circuit people finally ‘voted with their feet’ so to speak and not attended this tournament?

    Maybe it’s not the lack of ‘circuit debaters’ opting of attendance but maybe they didn’t qualify?

    ok, if thats true then it begs the question of why they would qualify in years past but not this year, which is equally interesting.

    ridge high school is located in da hood. it can often be spotted surrounded by playas, hatas, and the occasional p-i-m-p (must be spelled out). we roll in our benzos along wit (o)edipus, J-Dawg Juniah, and a mysterious portuguese man whose true identity we have yet to ascertain.

    the wiki says zehner is from ridge hs, (?). the article above says hes from “St. Joseph’s Preparatory School.” maybe the bigger concern is figuring out where he actually goes to school, but id assume this ridge the same new jersey ridge thats already mentioned on that wiki entry.

    5 in the top 32 isn’t too bad for the state of Pennsylvania. If a kid from Erie had went to qualifying, we probably would have taken 6 spots in double octas.

    cfl started as an organization of catholic schools i think. their history page seems to indicate that (”The National Catholic Forensic League is an organization originating from the Catholic secondary school community in the United States for the purpose of providing a service to all secondary school students.”)

    interestingly, they also welcome canadian schools to participate.

    Wow, if quarters were paired correctly, this is what it SHOULD have looked like.

    (12) Walt Whitman MM vs. (8) Hunter College ZS
    (15) Celebration KA vs. (23) Trinity CS
    (3) Ridge SC vs. (22) Charlottesville TT
    (13) James Logan BM vs. (12) St. Joseph’s Prep RZ

    Well, I guess mistakes happen all the time, including quarterfinals of a national championship. Besides, the LD tab room did work really hard this weekend, and ultimately, only 1 debater out of each of those rounds above advanced to Semis (thereby naturally correcting the quarters pairing).

    Oh well.
