Woodward Novice Nationals to Give Disclosure Awards

Victory Briefs — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 22:49:56 +0000

COLLEGE PARK, Ga – From Roy Levkovitz, director of the Woodward Novice Nationals and contributor to The3NR.com: “In the spirit of all the disclosure awards we plan on giving out, I’m glad to announce an award for best Wikis for teams attending the Woodward Tournament 2 weeks from now.

If you feel like your wiki can withstand the scrutiny of Bill and myself, send me an e-mail at Roy@the3nr.com with your school name and initials and Bill and I will go over the applicants during the tournament to crown a winner.

If you are an older varsity debater on your squad please encourage the younger members on your team (who might not read the3nr) to post their information on the NDCA Wiki (you can always sell them with idea of an award). Younger debaters often do not fully understand the disclosure etiquette (both on the wiki and before debates) so do what you can to encourage your younger teammates to get involved with disclosure.”
