On Wednesday, we loaded up a Chrysler Pacifica and drove down to Rome, Georgia, for the second year in a row for the Novice National tournament. This year, we only took 4 debaters and the novices really showed out! We had a great time in Georgia, enjoying the warm weather and a lot of southern food. Results for the tournament are below:
