Carlsbad takes Long Beach
View full results for Jack Howe @ CSU Long Beach 2010-2011
CSULB finalists, left to right - Natasha Maldi, Sam Gardner, Kiyana Asemanfar, Aaron Johnson
The 2010 Jack Howe invitational concluded tonight. In what was by far the hardest break of the year, a 58 team field was weeded out to 8 quarterfinalists after three preliminary rounds.
In the final round, a Carlsbad team of Natasha Maldi and Sam Gardner faced Aaron Johnson and Kiyana Asemanfar from PV Peninsula. Natasha and Sam picked up on a 2-1 vote of the judges. Following Alice Lin’s victory at the ODI camp tournament and Aditya Majumdar winning St. Francis, CSULB becomes the third tournament this season won by a POI editor.
On its way to the first place trophy, Carlsbad defeated Lauren Kelly, one half of the 2009 championship team, in quarterfinals, and the 2009&2010 CSULB top speaker Micheal Daugherty of Claremont in semifinals. The 2008 champions attended the tournament but did not clear.
The top seed team, Jason Park and Kevin Huang from University, as well as Liam Neubling and Sarah Murray from Servite forfeited their quarterfinal rounds due to a communication failure.

Round 1 resolution: thw abolish the death penalty
58 team field
Good luck, Sam!
I was all chillin’ with Claremont and Carlsbad today
and they were all like whaaaaaat? This judging pool be WACK.
2nd round:TH ought to favor the environment over the economy (sems topic last year)
3rd: The USFG should reform immigration policy
Iain over here sayin judging be WACK, but what was WACK was that this entire novice division be just one giant social event. Due to how I, included with pretty much dozens of other teams, hasd to wait an extra two hours for the posting of the 3rd round. Even though, it be koo up in da LB.
judges dont even know the rules correctly… thought that impromptu had to speak on all 3 topics, nooow im not saying that they’re deuches, BUUUUTTT….. all im sayin rii herr is that some people just need some more training, thats all lol

Where are the IE breaks posted online?
Big thanks to Iain for somehow finding out breaks. Good luck everybody.
Thanks Iain, good luck to you guys
Does ANYONE know when the next round starts? One of my debaters doesn’t even know he made it. Not surprising – since breaks appear to have been posted at 1:51 in the morning…
Sorry… Make that 1:25… I want to be fair.
2 teams didn’t show up to quarters so they’re delaying seems.
Quarters topic:The USFG should ban offshore drilling
AND THE CHAMPIONS ARE…CARLSBAD GM!
“Sam: Hopefully the finalist picture will be one of those 13 y/o girl mirror shots
.”
Well played, little girl.
Carlsbad (3) won the final round on a 2-1 against Pv Peninsula H.S. AJ (Asemanfar & Johnson) (5).
They beat Claremont AD (2) on a 3-0 in sems, and Sanger High School KV (Kelly & Virk) (6) on a 3-0 in quarters.
Natasha was 7th speaker.
Alex Patel of Valencia was 3rd speaker.
University High HP (Huang & Park) and Servite NM (Nuebling & Murray) failed to show up to quarters on time due to a lack of coach and communication, so they were dropped–which is a huge shame, since University was 1st seed.
Michael Daughtery of Claremont took 1st speaker…for the second year in a row. Props.

If you end up applying for a CalCup at-large (do it!), we’ll take that into account.
Props to Natasha and Sam on the win.
lol thx man

and how do i apply?
@Kevin
), but were still good.
CalCup is short for California Cup.
It’s a tourney POI/Lynbrook organized last year for top 18 teams in the state, as determined by POI Rankings (performance at invitationals and squals). At-large applications were for teams that weren’t high on the rankings (didn’t attend enough tourneys, partner changes, didn’t show up to their elim round
I’m planning to organize the tournament again this year, but I’m still in the process of securing rooms etc, so invite should be up later.
Last year’s CalCup attracted champions of St. Francis, UOP, SCU, MLK-Logan, Claremont, Pepperdine, Cal Lutheran, Stanford, and CA State, here’re the details:
