Hello.
(Full and updated invite below....email me if you want it as an attachment).
Lodging for the University of Richmond Spider Classic Tournament (Oct 5th, 6th and 7th) is still available at the tournament hotel. The Best Western is offering a rate of $55 per room (their number is 804-672-7007) and the hotel is only a few minutes from campus.
Rounds start on Friday afternoon, Oct. 5th. Entries are due before 5:00 pm on October 2nd. Early entry information would be helpful.
The judge pool looks pretty good right now, but we could definitely use more and we compensate well. Contact myself or Matthew Liebman (mliebman17 at hotmail.com) for more information.
Hope to see you here at UR.
Sincerely,
Kevin

Spider Classic
2001 Tournament Invitation
Debate Community Members,
The University of Richmond Debate Team would like to take this opportunity to invite you to the 2001 Spider Classic/Autumn Novice National tournament to be held on October 5th, 6th and 7th of this year. Last year, we were pleased to break to octofinals in two different divisions and we hope to do the same this year.
FORMAT
At the 2001 University of Richmond Spider classic the "Indian Country" resolution (agreed to by CEDA vote) will be debated.
Participants will engage in six rounds of preliminary competition in all levels. The time limits will be 9-3-6 with 10 minutes of prep in open & JV, and 8-3-5 with 8 minutes of prep in novice. The Novice division will use the shorter time format to encourage more post-round discussion.
The 2001 Spider Classic will abide by the CEDA constitution's statements on eligibility, sexual harassment, and evidence challenges. The tournament will be sanctioned by CEDA, NDT, & ADA. If any of these rules or bylaws conflict with one another, determinations will be made on a case-by-case basis by the tab room and the tournament directors.
The CEDA/ADA definitions of novice, JV, and open eligibility will be in effect. Elimination rounds will begin on Sunday morning. Teams will advance into elimination rounds based on the following criteria:
1) win-loss record, 2) total team points, 3) adjusted team points, 4) double-adjusted team points, 5) total team ranks.
We will not break brackets. Advancing teams will be up to the discretion of the coach and the school involved
ENTRIES
We charge a $65 entry fee per team. We charge a $140 entry fee for each uncovered team.
Please consider bringing extra judges. We can always use them, and will pay them well!
In the spirit of encouraging new debate, we will continue to waive entry fees for new programs or programs with financial hardships. We also have a very limited amount of free housing available. Please contact us no later than Sept. 20th if you have these needs.
ENTRIES ARE DUE BY PHONE, FAX, OR E-MAIL NO LATER THAN TUESDAY, OCTOBER 2nd AT 5:30 PM. Please call early - a rough head count is always appreciated ahead of time. There is no limit to the number of teams entered by a school.
AWARDS
Speaker awards will be given to the top 10 debaters in two divisions on the following criteria: 1) total speaker points, 2) adjusted speaker points, 3) double-adjusted speaker points, 4) total ranks, 5) adjusted ranks, 6) win-loss record, 7)thumb wrestling best 2 out 3 matches. We will be offering awards through at least quarters in both divisions and through semis for the "JV break-out" rounds. Also, don't forget the Protagoras Cup, great debate, free vegetarian-friendly food for breakfasts and lunch on Saturday, a temperate Autumn environment, and genuine southern hospitality. All this on the campus that Parade magazine recently ranked the #1 most beautiful in American higher education. What else could you ask for?
