In the war room for the Hilltopper Classic, we are just about set for this afternoon’s tournament. Here are the list of teams competing in the Varsity Division for a bid to the National Tournament of Champions.
Wisconsin Forensics Daily will be on-hand to provide coverage of this weekend’s National Catholic Forensic League Grand Nationals in Albany, New York. Sheboygan North’s Jon Voss, Marquette’s Bill Batterman, and the National Forensic League’s Adam Jacobi (along with many others) will be in New York to share news and notes about Wisconsin competitors with their friends and families back home. If you are a Twitter fan, search for the hashtag #ncfl to read updates from those tweating before, during, and after the tournament. Please use this thread to discuss the tournament, share results, or wish good luck! We’ll get things started: who’s attending? In what events? Good luck, Wisconsin.
The Wisconsin Debate Coaches’ Association is holding its Spring Meeting today at the Ripon Public Library. Eighteen schools are represented and will be discussing a wide range of issues including the novice evidence packet, the WSDT, next year’s tournament calendar, etc. A running log of the meeting (live from the President’s table) is below the fold.
This weekend, teams from Wisconsin will be traveling to Greenhill’s tournament in Texas and Wake Forest’s tournament in North Carolina. Specifically, (and please let me know if I’m missing anyone), Marquette University HS will be competing in Texas, while Neenah and Sheboygan North high schools will visit North Carolina.
Check back here over the weekend for updates…
Bill Batterman is live blogging from the 29th Annual Marquette University Debate Institute. You can check out their coverage of the camp’s events over at: http://mudi2008.blogspot.com.
Thursday is the make or break day for contestants still in main event, supplemental, or consolation events. By the end of the day, one will have either made a final round or not. Later tonight, the finals of HI, DI, and Duo will be preformed at the Cox Pavillion at the UNLV campus with the remaining events going on Friday. Here’s a list of the Wisconsin folks still in the hunt for a National Championship:
Good luck to all of those competing today. Remember, there’s more than one way to make a final round.
Here’s a place for our WFD correspondents to provide coverage of how Wisconsinites are faring at the Desert Lights Nationals. In the Congress Senate, Nicolet’s Gabriella Friedman advanced to semifinals.
The National Catholic Forensics League is holding its Grand National Tournament this weekend in Appleton Wisconsin. The contests advancing to elimination rounds have been posted on the Fox Cities NCFL Website. Clearing from Wisconsin were:

Policy 180: Neenah OO
We’ll add more names as they become available to us. Bill Batterman and Nick Bubb will be at Appleton West tomorrow – come by and get your picture taken!
