College Bridge Tournament
Montclair University - Montclair, NJ
October 22, 2005

The Jersey Urban Debate League would like to invite you and your debaters to our 2nd Annual College Bridge Tournament to be held Saturday, October 22 at Montclair State University in Montclair, New Jersey

This event will combine academic debate competition with an organized exchange between college recruiters and high school debaters. Debaters and recruiters will be offered two sessions of 1 hour each to meet and exchange information. Additionally recruiters will be able to observe prospective applicants "in action" during actual debate competitions.

We expect that more than 24 colleges and universities will be represented along with debaters from the DCUDL, Baltimore UDL, NYUDL, Rhode Island Debate League, the Mid Hudson Debate League and the Jersey Urban Debate League. Our inaugural tournament last year drew 100 teams and 19 college recruiters.

We will offer three rounds of competition with three divisions.

• Novice: case disclosure required* , no counterplans or kritiks permitted
• Junior Varsity: case disclosure required*, no argument restriction
• Varsity: no disclosure required, no argument restriction

The anticipated schedule is as follows:
