Good evening coaches:
When I adjusted the schedule, I failed to inform you I am willing to allow judges to adjudicate speech or interp if you entered them in the JOY system as a debate judge. Your judge could either judge debate and speech or debate and interp....but due to the schedule, the debate judge would not be able to cover both interp and speech.
If you have a debate judge that you have entered that also would be willing to judge speech or interp events, just send me an email and I will make the adjustment in the system. Please let me know before the entry deadline so I can make the adjustment on my end. Unfortunately, you won't be able to make the adjustment on your end. I hope this may be able to reduce your fees a little more - Merry Christmas and Happy Holiday!
Again, thank you for joining us and we look forward to seeing you.
In Service,

The Student Congress docket has been set for our tournament. You can access the complete file here: http://www.mrdickson.net/invitational.html. You can also access it on the Joy of Tournaments Invitation page for our tournament.
Currently, Student Congress at our tournament represents the UIL 2A, 3A, 4A and 5A classification schools. To honor a request from the UIL State office, we will not use any legislation that has been set by the UIL to appear in any final chamber at UIL State Congress.
We will host three preliminary chambers for Student Congress. We will keep the chambers relatively small (12-15). Each chambers will have students from a mix of classifications. From those chambers, we will advance the top 4 to the SuperCongress Final Chamber. Additionally, we will advance those placing 5th-8th in prelimary chambers to a Consolation SuperCongress Chamber.
There are 16 pieces of legislation. The legislation has been numbered for our tournament use. Odd numbers will be debated in prelims. Even numbers will be debated in Finals. The students can establish the exact order of debate.
As you will notice, the docket has been set up in the following manner to ensure each UIL classification is represented in the overall docket (including equal representation in prelims and finals):

Everything is coming along nicely for the Caddo Mills Tournament on Saturday, December 12, 2015.
Today, I write you about Congressional Debate. UIL will be posting the actual State Legislation today, but they have already released the State docket via email to coaches. To assist me with getting information out to you quickly today regarding Congress Legislation for our tournament, could you email me your school's classifictaion (1A, 2A, 3A, 4A, 5A, 6A) and the region number to any legislation you may have on the State docket. This will assist me in pulling everything together. Please keep in mind, we can only use preliminary docket legislation at our contest.
Thanks again for choosing our tournament. We look forward to seeing you soon.
