My information came from an email from a TVFL coach who was at the CHSSA meeting where the amendment was passed. I can forward it to you if you need confirmation, Mr. St. Amant.
Congrats on sleuthing this out so quickly as this amendment wasn’t on the agenda for the May 7 CHSSA meeting but was apparently introduced, passed and approved for implementation ASAP. Now perhaps other tournaments will also allow computers in Parli prep. Should be fun to see how this plays out…
Thank you for the above information. If i really wanted to get into Stanford, is there anyway possible I could get my team into the tournament eventhough the deadline has passed?
My team from pepperdine (OaksChristian RY) defeated Simivalley gm. This is posted incorrectly in the quarter final round and made it to the Semis. Could you please make this correction in your rankings?
With that in mind:
Oaks Christian RY should have 10.275 points, moving them into 28th on the rankings.
Simi Valley GM should have 4 points.
This will be reflected in the next round of updates to the rankings (after Windsor and Squals). We hope the revised totals (not integrated into the rankings yet) will be adequate for now.
Thank you, Benjamin, for your recognition of this point error. It is indeed adequate if the points are integrated after Squals, as long as they are factored in at some point. Thanks again for your time and consideration.
Who would go to a tournament that late in the season? Most schools’ seasons will be over before then anyways. And rescheduling the tournament because there is a “rumored pofo tournament” destroys the legitimacy of your new tournament. Id recommend you keep april 8. What is this mysterious new pofo tournament..?
Debater, you make a good point. However, April 8th does not work for our coach, who will be in Oregon at the time. Furthermore, due to other school activities taking place, we wouldn’t be able to host as many debaters as we would like. Finally, that day is Easter Sunday, which would inconvenience a large number of debaters.
I agree that late May is inconvenient for many. We chose this day because A) it does not conflict with any known tournaments in the area (states and calicup have occupied the late April slots) and B) it does not conflict with AP testing or AP test prep weekends.
Thanks for your input, though. I agree that hosting a tournament that late in the year has its risks. However, is everyone averse to a season-ending tournament (before Nats for PoFo, that is)? Send us your input before we finalize a date. Thanks!
as in the preliminary rankings before any tournaments take place? correct me if i’m wrong but i remember there being rankings somewhere around august/september last year
It’s after the CaliCup, but I guess POI will still factor it in to the rankings…also, our last tournament counted for NFL points so it’s safe to assume that this upcoming one will as well.
I think we have enough schools interested to finalize the date as May 19—I’ll run that by the tournament director before emailing POI and contacting JOT to set up “official” notices and registration.
Just out of curiosity, PuFo people out there: a) why are you even here, and b) would you prefer the April rez or the Nats rez? Parli gets the resolution badassery of Thomas Belesiu (SCU1′s guy).
Prospect’s Hays Invitational is finalized for May 19. Registration will begin on Joy of Tournaments tomorrow.
There will be Open Parli and Novice Parli–unless more people express interest/register for Novice Public Forum, it will be folded into a single Public Forum division.
Is there any more information available for that “Race for the California Cup” in September? Is that just an open invitational at Bishop O’ Dowd where any teams can compete or is it only for the teams that attended TOC this year?

Which Tournaments qualify for POI points? And which tournaments are left for this season?
All tournaments except for league tournaments (STATE QUALS DO COUNT) get POI points, as long as somebody submits the results to us.
Stanford, Windsor, possibly another Prospect?, SCU2, Calcup, Squals, and State are the remaining Parli tournaments of the year.

There’s a chance they’d still let you in, you should email them ASAP

Are there any tournaments on May 19th that would conflict with a [postponed] Prospect tournament in California?
Anything going on in the college circuit either (some available flow judges)?
The new date is due to a rumored PoFo tournament on April 6-7.

i would definitely go to a prospect tournament, especially if you guys would consider factoring it into poi rankings
all invites count for POI Rankings
are the initial POI rankings for next year just carried over from the end of this year?
no, we start over each season
as in the preliminary rankings before any tournaments take place? correct me if i’m wrong but i remember there being rankings somewhere around august/september last year
I don’t think the first rankings appeared this year until after Santa Clara. There are no preliminary rankings since there’s no data available.
It’s after the CaliCup, but I guess POI will still factor it in to the rankings…also, our last tournament counted for NFL points so it’s safe to assume that this upcoming one will as well.

This was a fantastic season. Does POI do end of the season awards? Who do you think are the top 5 1st speakers? How about the top 5 2nd speakers?
Was the Prospect Invitational tournament finalized? If so, is the PF division varsity/what were the finalized dates?
Prospect Invitational is set for May 19th. But i have no other information.
Prospect’s Hays Invitational is finalized for May 19. Registration will begin on Joy of Tournaments tomorrow.
There will be Open Parli and Novice Parli–unless more people express interest/register for Novice Public Forum, it will be folded into a single Public Forum division.
Contact me if you have any questions at prospectdebate@gmail.com!
When will the Prospect info be up on JOT?
On behalf of our entire bureaucracy, I’d like to apologize for the delay getting the Hays information online.
However, it’s finally online at http://www.joyoftournaments.com/ca/prospect-spring/
See y’all there!
