We’ve just left Carrollton HS, the state championship and Catholic National Forensic League qualifier. I’m posting this while on the road, so I have no idea of specific names but:
.
We’re building momentum, kids!
More details coming.

We’re recieved word from the coaches at Milton that because Fulton County Schools is conccerned about weather, all activities are cancelled tommorow, including the tournament. Do not come to school tomorrow.

Since the last update, we’ve gotten a few questions:
1) How do I pay? - You can pay two ways: directly online at http://gradyspeaks.org/roundrobin/pay, or by making a check out to Mario Herrera, Henry W. Grady Speech and Debate.
If you are hiring a judge, the fee is $100. Partial judges are $50.
2) What is this about cars? - This is important. Atlanta has a ton of traffic. Just remember that. Otherwise, there is no “no-car” rule. Since we’re having the tournament at one location and the awards at Emory’s dinner on the 24th, you’ll need one.
3) Since the RR is small for PF, how does that work? - Each PF team will debate both sides of the resolution in a round-robin format. Each team will see each other twice, once on one side and the second time on the other. We had a full pool, then drops came around to bring us back to square one. From now on, this will be a Georgia RR with one out of state guest in PF.
4) Awards are at Emory, included as part of the BFHS dinner the night before the tournament. You will be around Emory debaters, and competitors at the Pace RR (Policy). It’s a pretty nice dinner, and includes the Georgia Speaker of the Year (a surprise).
Location update: The first night of the RR is going to be held at Grady High School.
