Invite
Dear Speech and Debate Coach:
On behalf of the Yale Debate Association, we invite you and your team to the seventeenth annual Yale University Invitational Tournament. The tournament will consist of competition in Varsity and JV Lincoln-Douglas Debate, Public Forum Debate, Policy Debate, Congressional Debate, Parliamentary Debate, and six Speech events.
Parli Introduction
This year, we are also pleased to introduce Parliamentary Debate to our tournament. This new division will benefit from the judging expertise of the Yale Debate Association, the top-ranked college parliamentary team in the nation. We hope that this division will also help to open the tournament to new schools.
Parli Rules
There will be a single, open division of parliamentary debate. We will follow Osterweis style with the 4-5-5-5-2-3 format. For a full style guide, please visit http://www.yaledebate.org/osterweis/parli.html. We will release the straight-link resolution fifteen minutes before the start of each round. There will be four rounds with a likely break to semifinals; the break will be determined based on size of the field.”
