IE 2/1, Parli 4/3. Interpretation of Children’s Literature.

Saint Cloud State University will host the Icebox Classic Speech & Debate Tournament on Friday-Saturday, February 6-7, 2015.

The tournament will offer 2 rounds of individual events with finals (semi-finals as necessary) in all eleven AFA individual events with an added opportunity to perform in a nuance event, Interpretation of Children’s Literature.  As per tradition at our tournament, impromptu speaking will use cartoons, objects, and quotations for topic stimuli. We will also offer four rounds of parliamentary debate (NPDA sanctioned) and out-rounds as entries warrant.  Debaters will be able to participate in all individual event patterns.  Awards will be presented to all finalists (including two awards for debate teams), top five debate speakers, top five in team sweepstakes, and top four in quadrathlon.  We will also recognize the top novice competitor in each event.
