2016‐2017 Semester 1 Lincoln Douglas Debate Tournament Selections Student commitment I, _______________________, understand that by checking the following tournament boxes, I am committing to attend these tournaments. This means that I will do everything in my power to attend. Unless there are extraordinary circumstances (an illness that makes you incapable of attending or a death in the family), I will prepare to attend this tournament and communicate with my teachers so that I may complete missed work if necessary. Student signature: ________________________________________________ Parent commitment I understand that my child is obligated to attend the tournaments checked off below. Because there are costs incurred by the program when students remove themselves from competition with short notice, I am willing to pay a drop fee if applicable. I also understand that the costs listed below are estimates based off of the 2015‐2016 season, so there is a chance that the price for each tournament may fluctuate.
