Fall Tournament Sign-Up
Fall Tournaments
We will be attending 4 tournaments this fall:
Hart House IV (at the University of Toronto) October 16th-18th. We will be leaving around 1pm on Friday, and returning around supper time on Sunday.
Yale IV October 23th-25rd. We will be leaving in the afternoon/evening on the Thursday, and returning on Sunday, likely around supper time.
Guindon Cup November 6th-8th. We will be leaving very very early in the morning on Friday, and returning very very late on Sunday.
Chancellors Cup November 13th-15th. We will be leaving very early in the morning on Friday, and returning very late on Sunday.
For all tournaments, the club covers your registration (most of your meals) and your accommodation. You're responsible for your share of the car rental and gas - somewhere between $30-$60.
How to sign up:
E-mail Lenny Loewith - training@uwodebate.com - with your name, e-mail, phone number, student number, year of study and faculty (so we can apply for faculty specific funding), and your availability for each tournament. If you are over 21 with a G license, and willing to drive a rental car, or have your own car, please let him know that as well. If you have an exam on the weekend of a tournament, it may be possible to get it rescheduled, so please let us know if you have a conflict.
We need to do tournament selections for the October tournaments very soon, so if you are interested in attending one of those tournaments, please be at both meetings next week and have your tournament availability email in by noon on Thursday.
It would be helpful if you could copy the following list and place your information beside each entry in the email totraining@uwodebate.com
