KICK OFF THE NEW YEAR!
The Dardanelle High School Sand Lizards are pleased to invite you to the 2017 DHS Sandbox Speech and Debate Tournament on Friday, January 12th and Saturday, January 13th, 2017.
In the following packet you will find a schedule of events, tournament expectations and a listing of local hotels.
Sweepstakes will be made available to the top three schools in both large and small school divisions. It should be noted that this is not a Junior High Invitational.
The deadline for entries is Monday, January 5 th, 2017 by 6:00 p.m. If you need assistance completing your entry, please contact eric.gamble@dardanellelizards.com We would appreciate any school that is planning to attend let us know before the Christmas break so that we know how many people to plan for.
You must provide one qualified judge for every ten individual event entries and one qualified judge for every two debate teams. A $10 judge fee will be assessed for uncovered entries to pay hired judges for last minute changes/uncovered rounds and will be enforced.
Rounds
Instead of offering multiple events at a single time and having the students rush from room to room. We will be holding three rounds OF THE SAME event simultaneously. The students will be placed in a speaking order that will have most of them as one of the first speakers in their first room, among the middle speakers in their second room and among the last speakers in their third room.
We are expecting people to look at their speaker number in each room and try their best to get to the rooms in the appropriate order. We are hopeful that this method will allow us to offer multiple preliminary rounds for each event while still keeping the tournament on schedule. We will be capping entries into each event at 32 and they will be filled on a first come and first serve basis. We will reserve several spots to keep the pool diverse enough to reach qualifying status however.
· Rounds will be scheduled for two hours
· We will limit each round to 10 competitors
· Each room will be within a 1-2 minute walking distance from each other
Student Congress
We will be taking bill submissions for our Student Congress competition. Bills are due by Monday, January 8th , 2017 at 6:00 p.m. Bill submissions must follow NSDA format and should be submitted to eric.gamble@dardanellelizards.com The NSDA bill template can be found here. Multiple bill submissions are allowed however they must be sent in priority order and the first two from each school are given precedence before additional bills will be added to the schedule. Students may enter student congress as a consolation event on Saturday for $10.00 at the door.

Individual Events
All NSDA event rules must be followed. Please consult NSDA event standards and rules carefully.
Some NSDA will occur on Friday.
ACTAA Events (Oratory, POI, Duo, Prose, Poetry) will occur on Saturday Morning.
Each round will receive three prelims and advance to appropriate elimination round.
Judging
Schools are expected to bring the appropriate number of judges to fulfill judging commitments. We reserve the right to limit entries or assess fees if commitments are not fulfilled.
You must provide a cell number for every judge entered. Please be very clear about judge availability.
High school graduates of any age may judge any event, however we expect program directors to make informed discretion about judge qualifications. It is the responsibility of all coaches to ensure that all forensics judges are familiar with NSDA event rules and guidelines.
Double Entry
We have tried our hardest to offer a unique opportunity that gives the student as much flexibility as possible.
However, IPDA/PF debaters will be held to the time standard for each event. They must make their debate round and each of the three preliminary IE rounds if double entered.(IE judges will stay in the room for a two hour period) Any student signed up for Congress must understand that they have to use the appropriate parliamentary procedure to be excused from their session and will not be able to make up time while double entered.
Multiple entries are encouraged. The schedule is made in such a way that it is possible to enter every NSDA event and all ACTAA events with very minimal overlap.
There may be conflicts during the outrounds. Every effort will be made to make sure advancing students have the opportunity to compete in their outrounds.
