Dear Fellow Debaters,

The Choate Rosemary Hall Debate Team cordially invites you to the inaugural Choate Invitational Tournament on January 10, 2010. In both novice and advanced divisions, the event will feature three rounds of parliamentary extemporaneous debate with straight resolutions. A triple-speak competition will follow the debate rounds.

Initial registration is limited to 3 four-person teams per school. Each school must register at least one team in both the novice and advanced divisions and provide one judge per four-person team. Choate will be unable to supply judges.

Registration fees are $60 per four-person team and $15 per observer. To register, and for further inquiries, please email our tournament organizer Ian Chan by December 18th, 2009. Please indicate how many observers and specific teams (novice/advanced) you plan to bring.

On the morning of the tournament please telephone our team adviser Neil Shimmield at (203) 843-7743 between 8 am and 10 am to let us know you are on your way. Additional information such as the tournament schedule and directions to Choate Rosemary Hall may be found at our team homepage:
