Tentative Debate Schedule for 2022-2023
Please Note the Following:
Some tournaments are listed as ONLY IF VIRTUAL. That means we will not participate in those tournaments if we are required to attend them in person (mostly because of cost, but also because such events are probably on weekends when we already have In-Person tournaments).
A few tournaments will always be virtual, especially the OPL – Online Policy League – Tournaments, and the NEW Virtual TOC Qualifying series. It is too early to tell, in many cases, what the format for other invitational events will be.
The last weekend of October and first weekend of November are especially complicated because BOTH of the tournaments we REALLY want to attend at that time are likely to be on the first weekend in November. This might mean replacing one of them with a tournament on the last weekend in October, or it might mean replacing one of them with something somewhere else on the calendar – probably Greenhill, the Sunvite or Berkeley -- unless I can find a chaperone besides myself to lead one of the two trips on the first weekend in November. We will very likely not do more than two IN PERSON EVENTS from among the following -- Apple Valley, Berkeley, Blue Key, Greenhill, The Meadows, Michigan or The Sunvite, but we need to keep our options open at the moment because of schedule uncertainties, and we might be able to trade some other tournament for a third tournament from the above list.
Any other tournament listed as MAYBE IF IN PERSON is probably not one we can attend in person unless that tournament ends up being virtual, the other tournament on that weekend (Scarsdale or Little Lex) is virtual or unless I can find another chaperone to lead the Urban Dragon or Glenbrooks trips because my commitments to Scarsdale and Little Lex are unalterable, and honestly, we might not have the money for two flying trips that we have either never (Urban Dragon) done in person, or not always done in person (we originally added Apple Valley and dropped the Glenbrooks during years when is conflicts with Little Lex, which is most of them).
