Dear Colleague:
The Speech and Debate teams of the University of

The University of the Pacific’s Paul Winters
Invitational is
a full-service tournament featuring NPDA Debate, NFA LD Debate, and Individual
events. NPDA and IE’s run on Saturday and Sunday, with NFA L/D happening
concurrently on Friday and Saturday. Two preliminary rounds of competition in Novice
and Open divisions of all eleven AFA/Phi Rho Pi individual events will be
offered, advancing to semifinals (as appropriate) or finals in each event. Five
preliminary rounds of Novice, Junior, and Open divisions of NPDA Parliamentary
Debate will advance to appropriate elimination rounds.
SPECIAL
NOTE: This tournament will feature two minutes of flex time after the PMC and
LOC, as well as one minute of flex time after the MGC, and LOR. This time may
be used for prep, CX, drinking water, etc.
Additionally, five preliminary rounds of NFA L/D
Debate (advancing to appropriate elimination rounds) will be offered. ALL
BALLOTS WILL BE ELECTRONIC! Judges will be expected to have an internet-capable
device and have established a guest account on PacificNet_Guest PRIOR to Round
One on FRIDAY morning. Postings will be at tabroom.com **NOTE: In the event
of conflict, the resolution AS ANNOUNCED BY THE TD takes precedence over
anything posted electronically**
INTERNET ACCESS IS **NOT** guaranteed. There are a
series of steps to get internet access via PacificNet_Guest, but it does not
work with all phones. You are REQUIRED to have a backup if you are judging
Parli. We cannot help you with logging on as it is a confusing series of tubes
that is beyond our arcane expertise.
On Friday, November 2, the University of the
Pacific will also host the Pat Kennedy Tournament, a modified Round Robin. This one-day tournament
will draw many of NPDA’s best programs to compete against one another.
