Dear Colleagues, We invite entries to the Hockaday Women’s Round Robin held Saturday and Sunday, March 28-29, 2015 on the Hockaday campus. The round robin is an opportunity to compete against, and join together to celebrate, women in debate. It is our hope that you will make plans to attend. All women who have received at least one bid to the TOC are automatically accepted into the round robin. Any women who would like to attend may submit an application regardless of whether she has received a TOC bid or not. Historically, the round robin has been a site of excellent competition and comradery for those who have attended and it is our goal to continue that tradition. The tournament will feature a relaxed schedule with plenty of opportunities to engage in conversation and enjoy each other’s company. Awards are being provided by Vetro Glassblowing and every participant will receive a glass blown flower. The entry deadline is March 6th, 2015. We look forward to hosting you, Dr. Charles Walts, Director of Debate Mr. Jordan Innerarity, Assistant Director of Debate The Hockaday Debate Team Contact Information: Dr. Walts, cwalts@hockaday.org, 214.360.6570 Mr. Innerarity, jinnerarity@hockaday.org, 214.360.6569 Entry Requirements: Automatic Entry: We will admit up to 24 participants.
