Dear Debate Coaches,
You are invited to Kamiak High School's Seventeenth Annual Invitational Debate
Tournament to be held on January 30-January31, 2015. Enclosed in this e-mail you will
find: the list of events; rules for the tournament; the schedule; the registration form; and
directions to Kamiak High School. I would like to bring three specific points to your
attention, however. First as you read the registration form you will note that we have
kept our prices lower than the average high school tournament offered in Washington.
Second, if you enter your registration by January 23rd, you will receive a 10% price cut
