Fantastic. Allison is the president of the UBC debate society and is super jealous that I have a bunch of awesome American friends. She would also like access to this fine group. Please add her to this mailing list! (and any other debate-related mailing lists you feel approproate) - [log in to unmask] The tournament is set for February 7-9th, I hope to see all of you there. I miss you Steve Llano! It is the weekend after PSU's (Portland) Cascadia cup (Jan. 31st) Kaja of UBC will be a CA for that tournament and it will also be attended by a very excited and likely large group of Canadians. These tournaments do not yet have official invites but I hope that you mark the dates as they both should be real crowd-pleasers in my opinion. Remember, UBC's is the 'international' one and we provide crash like no-one else. -Josue On Thu, Nov 7, 2013 at 12:57 PM, Kenneth Johnson <[log in to unmask]>wrote: > We want the info too! > > Ken -- U of Rochester > > > On Nov 7, 2013, at 11:52 AM, Stephen Llano <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > > We would be interested too Josue, send on! > > > On Thu, Nov 7, 2013 at 11:48 AM, Josue Anderson < > [log in to unmask]> wrote: > >> I will do my best to put any information I get my hands on regarding BC >> tournaments on this thread as soon as possible.
