The 13th annual Lafayette College “OchoIE” Invitational will take place on October 5-6. We hope you will join us in beautiful Easton, PA for a weekend of Individual Events and Lincoln-Douglas Debate!
– Just like last year, in both IE and LD, ALL COVERED SLOTS ARE FREE!
– As a member of the Northern Tier Debate Conference, there is a cap on LD entries. Teams are guaranteed five slots in any LD division, with additional provisional slots that can also be given.
– The novice division will use the NTDC Novice Evidence Set for all debates in that division. We are also attempting to launch a JV LD division this year as well.
– All debate judges will be required to submit a judging philosophy and all debaters in Open and JV debate will be required to submit a 1AC outline with plan text and full citations.
