What Tournaments Are You Going to This Coming Season?
posted by Jon Cruz on July 23rd, 2007
Hardware
In addition to our camp coverage, VBD will continue to report debate news and provide debate commentary throughout the summer. Recently, I posted the news that J.W. Patterson has released the TOC bid levels for this coming season. This got me thinking about my favorite conversation starter during lull times in the season: what tournaments do you and your team plan to attend this season?
Yes, I asked this not too long ago. But now, I think, people are starting to seriously plan.
Anyway, I am not just interested in “national circuit” tournaments. List them all. You know you want to.

Please keep in mind that the Bronx Science team is HUGE (180 kids across LD, policy, Public Forum, and the Individual Events), which is the reason the list below is relatively large.
In addition to the large number of Mid-Hudson League and NYCFL one-day tournaments throught the season, and one or two local one-day speech tournaments in New Jersey, and not counting any individual invitations to tournaments, we’ll be attending the following:
Vassar Round Robin
Grapevine Classic
Greenhill Fall Classic
Yale Invitational
Georgetown Day School
Monticello’s Robert J. Kaiser Invitational
**We’re not “attending” the New York City Invitational (Big Bronx XXXVII), but we hope you will!**
St. Mark’s
Manchester
Florida Blue Key
Apple Valley
Hendrick Hudson
The Glenbrooks
Ohio Valley
Ridge
Blake
MBA
VBT
Lexington
Columbia
Emory
Newark
Scarsdale
Harvard
Lakeland
Northeast Regional Championships
Second Year & Novice Nationals at Woodward Academy
And, we hope, the NYSFL tournament, the TOC, the NCFL, and Nationals. (VEGAS!) It is unfortunate that Woodward conflicts with our state tournament. We will be dividing our team on that weekend.
One or two of these are subject to change, and depending on numbers, we may have to add one or two others. We hope to be back at Georgetown University this year.

Oooo. Chris Castillo and I have flirted with the idea of hosting a challenge tournament at some point in the near future. I had fun hosting one at Vassar in the past and Bietz puts on an awesome tournament at the Skyway Challenge following Blake. This looks like it would be a fun PF event.

anyone that’s finalizing his/her schedule now should consider attending the valley mid america cup. it’s incredibly fun and the judging is impressive from all aspects. on top of that, it’s a quarters bid, so you can get your qual while having a good time.
hope to see you all there!

Paul–if I were you, I would buck up for the final topic and do Blake/VBT/Emory/Stanford/Berkeley. Having coached a student who took a similar route, I think that picking a single topic and keeping pace with it is a good way to pick up a TOC qualification on a limited schedule.

The New York City Invitational received ninety entries within the first thirty-six hours of opening registration. We are again anticipating a very geographically diverse competitive field with one of the best pools of judges in the country. I know that a number of schools that are coming have not yet registered, so if you’re on the fence, please do not be shut out: register today! I hope to see you in October in New York.
