<p>The Argumentation and Communication Leadership Academy and Nova 42 would like to invite you to our Spring tournament event. The ISDA Kick Off is a tournament for Elementary and Middle Schools and will be held at California State University, Fullerton on March 19. There will be three patterns of events:Interpretation, Platform, and Debate. We will offer three divisions:K-2nd Grades, 3rd-5th Grades, and 6th-8th Grades. The tournament will allow double entry in Interp and Platform events, but not debate events. At the Kick Off, we plan to&nbsp;offer two prelim rounds and a final round&nbsp;in each event (depending on entries).&nbsp;We plan to offer a unique tournament experience with side games, a scavenger hunt, and music for competitors during down time.&nbsp;Updates will be posted in the blog section of this site.
