Northeast East Regional Opener @ Binghamton University

9/16/2011 – 9/18/2011

 

POLICY DIVISIONS: We will be hosting Novice, JV, and Open divisions following CEDA, ADA, and NDT guidelines and will follow a 9-3-6-10 format using the national CEDA/NDT topic for the 2010-2011 season.  “Resolved: The United States Federal Government should substantially increase its democracy assistance for one or more of the following: Bahrain, Egypt, Libya, Syria, Tunisia, Yemen.”  We will allow swing teams to participate as needed and will allow mavericks to compete only after all other possibilities have been exhausted, no more than one per division.  Both will be eligible for elimination rounds.  Our tournament will be tabbed by Neil Berch of WVU and Christy Webster-Dunn of USMA.  We will allow our first tournament novices advance to elimination rounds.  We will use a 30 point scale, allowing for tenth of a decimal place, and NO TIES between debaters in the same round.  We will follow CEDA’s Council of Tournament’s directions for best practices unless otherwise stated within the invite.

 

WORLDS: We will once again be offering competition in Worlds Debate, which will be administered by Chief Adjudicators Alfred Snider.  Worlds will follow all WDUC rules, available at http://debate.uvm.edu/dcpdf/sambaworldsguidelines.pdf . During preparation teams may only discuss the motion with their partner or with one of the chief adjudicators.  Judges should be provided at a ratio of one judge for every 2 teams.  Undergraduates familiar with the event may be used as judges.  Undergraduate and graduate students enrolled at an institution may compete.  Motions will be solicited in advance, Llano and Snider will compile a list of 20 motions, Joe Leeson-Schatz will pick a list of 10 for the tournament.  Judge and debater training and briefings will be directed by Mary Nugent of the University of Vermont.

 

For Friday:

Please bring new debaters to learn the event.

Please use your experienced debaters as judges for the scrimmage round.

 

REGISTRATION: Registration for the policy divisions should be done via debateresults, while Worlds entries should be e-mailed to [log in to unmask]. 

 

$40 per person in attendance.  Checks should be made out to “Binghamton University Speech & Debate Team.”  In the spirit of participation, teams with small budgets should ask for a fee reduction/waiver depending on their needs.  We will continue to try to make our tournament waste free.  Each participant will be receiving a travel mug and we will be using all compostable or recyclable materials.  Additional mugs beyond the first per person will have to be bought at an additional cost.  We were able to bring down the price this year since we will be using left-over 2011 CEDA mugs to supplement the new ones we’ll have to buy.  If you already have your own please feel free to reuse it.

 

Uncovered Team: $100 for a half obligation and $200 for a full obligation (this however cannot be waived as we need every available judge).  We encourage schools to donate extra rounds if possible and/or list themselves as available for hire on debateresults.

 

We will be accepting registration up until the Wednesday (9/14/10) before the tournament at 6pm.  Any changes after that time should be phoned in to 607-765-3659 and/or e-mailed to [log in to unmask] as they occur.  Entries should include the names of debaters and which divisions, as well as a list of judges.  We will do our best to accommodate late drops but reserve the right to charge as necessary to cover expenses that take place after Thursday (9/15/10) 5pm EST.

 WASTE FREE: We will try to be running our tournament waste free.  Everyone in attendance will be issued one travel hot/cold mug to use during the tournament.  Additional mugs will be available for purchase.  All materials bought for the tournament will be compostable or recyclable.  We ask participants to decrease their waste consumption while at Binghamton as well.  We will be using the garbage cans in classrooms to collect paper and other compostable materials.  We will have a couple of garbage cans spread out for things people may bring in that cannot be recycled or composted.  However, we ask that you do not put garbage in the trash cans inside classrooms and that you do properly deposit recyclables in recycling bins so we can quickly and efficiently collect compostables.

 

TOURNAMENT HOTEL: Quality Inn – University, Vestal NY is directly across the street from the University.  We have a block of rooms for $79.95 per night.  They are under the block “Binghamton University Debate Tournament.”  Reservations can be placed by calling the Holiday Inn at 607-729-6371.  You can start making reservations on July 22^nd, 2011.

DIRECTIONS:

 

Binghamton University is located one mile west of the city of Binghamton (in Vestal) and is a short drive from major urban centers in New York and neighboring states. A number of bus companies serve the area, and the Binghamton Regional Airport provides major airline service.

 

Follow 81 North or South to 17 West, toward Elmira, get off at exit 70S, heading towards “Binghamton Univ.”  Construction has changed the nature of what happens next this year so pay attention.  You should stay in the left lanes and take the skyway over the traffic circle, which will put you on the Fredrick Johnson Bridge (201S). 

 

To hotel: take the second exit (434 East) and the Quality Inn will be on your right and the University on your left.  Take your first right and turn into the parking lot, or continue down 434 East for several miles until the Skylark on your left near a Burger King, Vestal High School, and the Skylark Diner.

 

To campus: take the third and final exist (434 West).  Stay in the right lane that will put you on campus.  You’ll hit traffic circle.  You want to take the circle but stay to your right and not veer off entirely by simply going right.  If you’ve done the maneuver correctly you’ll pass a parking garage on your right.  Continue to follow the road until it puts you in front of a whole bunch of parking meters, which will happen after it makes you veer right.  Meter parking is free on weekends and the Fine Arts building is right in front of you.  Registration is on the second floor.  Signs should be posted around campus to make this process easier for you.

 

Hotel to campus: turn left coming out onto 434 at the intersection with Denny’s, then turn right onto campus at the next traffic light and follow above directions.
