Welcome to the home page for the 2018 Mile High - Part One (TTU Half) tournament hosted by University of Utah on Jan 4-5, 2018 for College students.
Status: Tournament Completed
<p>Dear Colleagues:</p>
<p>The forensic programs at Texas Tech University and The University of Utah invite</p>
<p>you to the 12th annual Mile High Swing to be held on the campus of The University of</p>
<p>Utah, January 4-7, 2018. We are also pleased to announce that Joe Gantt, Director of</p>
<p>Forensics at Lewis & Clark College, has agreed to tabulate the tournament. PLEASE</p>
<p>NOTE: This year, the tournament will run over 4, not 3, days.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The Mile High Swing will feature 2 complete parliamentary debate tournaments. At</p>
<p>the first half (TTU), we will offer 5 preliminary rounds with a double-octafinal break</p>
<p>consistent with the NPTE, along with some other features similar to the NPTE, such</p>
<p>as pre-released topic areas. At the second half (Great Salt Lake), we will offer 5</p>
<p>preliminary rounds with a possibility of partial triple-octofinals, and we will utilize</p>
<p>random topics similar to the NPDA Championship tournament. The first half will</p>
<p>utilize mutual judging; the second will utilize strikes. Both tournaments will feature</p>
<p>two minutes of flex-time after the PMC and LOC, as well as one minute of flex time</p>
<p>after the MGC and LOR. This time may be used for prep, CX, drinking water, etc.</p>
<p>We expect these tournaments to be some of the most competitive in the nation and</p>
<p>we hope you will join us in Salt Lake City this coming January.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>NEW IN 2018: In an effort to help you enjoy Utah’s “greatest snow on earth,” we</p>
<p>have identified an opportunity for all tournament attendees to take advantage of the</p>
<p>deep discounts on lift passes and equipment rentals offered by the University of</p>
<p>Utah so that you can partake in some of Utah’s world class skiing opportunities. For</p>
<p>approximately $100/person (prices subject to change and based on which ski resort</p>
<p>you choose), you can secure a lift pass and full set of ski gear (skis, boots, snow</p>
<p>pants and snow jacket). To learn more, visit:</p>
<p>http://campusrec.utah.edu/programs/outdoor-adventures/equipmentrental/</p>
<p>winter/. </p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>SPECIAL NOTE:</strong></p>
<p>The Mile High Swing will coincide with an IE/LD swing held at the University of</p>
<p>Utah. The schedule has been arranged to allow full-service teams to split their</p>
<p>competition between halves (e.g., PARLI/PARLI, PARLI/IE, or IE/IE). PLEASE NOTE:</p>
<p>PARLI competitors wishing to do IEs, must compete in PARLI during the first half</p>
<p>(Thurs/Fri) of the DEBATE (with IEs on Saturday) swing due to scheduling</p>
<p>constraints. The invitation can be found here: http://www.debate.utah.edu/?page_id=8.</p>
