SCU 2010
The 2010 Santa Clara Dempsey-Cronin Invitational starts Friday, December 10th. The pool is 56 debaters, from all over Northern California.

I am curious — who strikes topics first in this format, aff or neg? Also is this the same format used at Stanford?? Thx!
I believe the negative strikes first. I am not certain.
Stanford runs the same three topic style, but everything is done through a central prep room at Stanford. You meet with your opponents in the prep room and decide which topic (written on the board) you’ll debate before prepping.
At Santa Clara, all prep is done in-room, and judges just give debaters a sheet of paper, and they literally cross out a topic option with their strike.
To answer your questions, these topics are either exactly the same as SCU2 or very slight variations.

what are the octofinal pofo results?any policy results?
For the people who wanted Pofo, Leland closed out Pofo finals for the second year in a row.

Shiran won imp
Bentley def BOD
Rylan won extemp I think
Pofo winners were: Leland OW (Jordan Olmstead & Nick Wu) walked over Leland CS (Yvonne Chen & Joanne So). Leland OW were walked over in finals last year.
I find it ironic that Pofo results were posted on a Parli website before the Parli ones were.
I have the IE packet, so I can give IMP results:
1st-Shiran Sukumar
2nd Prerana Vaddi
3rd Harleen Kaur
4th Adil Majid (2-4 were tied, broken with tie breaker based on speaks)
5th Aparna Dhinakaran
6th Ben Mabie
7th Rylan Schaeffer
And yes, I’m a bit proud, as Notre Dame cleaned up in Impromptu (we also had 1st place Novice Impromptu), and we also had 2nd place Parli speaker.
Oh, Prerana Vaddi and Harleen Kaur are both from NDSJ.
Prerana is also half of Notre Dame FV who cleared to Quarters.
