Middle School Format Summary and Tournament Documents Available

Middle school coaches and support coaches can find a helpful one-page Format Primer, which can be used with the CMSDL Flow Sheet, and frequently used Tournament Black Box documents.

We’ll have copies of these documents on-site at Phillips, but coaches should also photocopy the 2010-2011 CMSDL Core Files Strategy Guide and make sure students have it at the tournament, particularly Novice students but all students (there’s a second page with a Varsity Strategy Guide), since it provides suggested 1NC and 2AC strategies and page numbers so that no student should feel they have nothing to say to fill their speech time.
