2012-2013 Tournament Schedule

Here's our tentative schedule.  Debate veterans should know that things get moved around and so this isn't set in stone.  We are going to places that have a good track record in keeping tournaments, so hopefully this should stick.  I'm looking for a tournament for us in early January, possibly Klein Oak because that's where we went last year during that time.

Sept./Oct. 2012 Lincoln-Douglas Topic

Resolved: The United States ought to extend to non-citizens accused of terrorism the same constitutional due process protections it grants to citizens.

Sept. 2012 PF Topic

There's something about seeing those first debate topics of the year that lets me know school is about to start.  Exciting times, indeed.

September Topic

Resolved: Congress should renew the Federal Assault Weapons Ban.

Two PF topics

Here are the PF topics up for consideration.  If you really have nothing to do, you can start prepping for both.  My guess is the Assault Weapons Ban will be the Sept. topic.  The single primary topic will probably resurface in Oct. or Nov. 

Resolved: Congress should renew the Federal Assault Weapons Ban.
Resolved: The American presidential nomination process should adopt a single national primary.
The September resolution will be announced at www.NFLonline.org on August 15, 2012.
