Dear Colleagues:<br />
The Point Loma Nazarene University forensics squad is pleased to invite you to our annual SUNSET CLIFFS CLASSIC Invitational forensics tournament. The tournament will be held February 4-5, 2012. We hope you can come enjoy our beautiful seaside campus and the typically sunny weather. </p>
<p style=\"margin-top: 1em; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; font-size: 14px; vertical-align: baseline; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: rgb(238, 238, 224); color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Georgia, serif; line-height: 21px; \">
We will offer open and novice division competition in all eleven AFA individual events (possibly collapsing some events should numbers so dictate) and six rounds of Junior and Senior divisions of Parliamentary Debate, and junior and senior divisions of NFA LD debate. The large number of colleges and universities that typically attend also provide an excellent draw for both Individual Events and debate competitors interested in warming up for Nationals.</p>

It is expected that Southwestern College will again offer their popular one-day swing tournament for Individual Events on Friday, February 3, 2012. Southwestern College is roughly 30-40 minutes from Point Loma’s campus. Swing Sweepstakes awards will also be offered. We encourage you to compete in IEs at Southwestern unless you are competing in or watching rounds at the Round Robin Tournament of Excellence on Point Loma’s campus on that same day.</p>

Assuming the President’s State of the Address speech is again offered prior to the tournament we will continue to draw Parliamentary debate topics from the address for both the Sunset Cliffs and the Round Robin. Coaches and students are invited to submit recommended topics for our consideration.</p>

Some noteworthy attractions of the Sunset Cliffs Classic include:<br />
• Strong competition with diverse regional representation and quality judging.<br />
• A picturesque ocean front campus.<br />
• A terrific new high quality tournament hotel with great rates, and our traditional tournament hotel now sold to new owners at very affordable rates for such a nice hotel.<br />
• Web registration for the tournament! <br />
• Two $3,000.00 scholarships for the top community college competitors (one each for debate & IE’s) for tuition at PLNU for students that gain admission to and who will compete in forensics for PLNU for the subsequent academic year.<br />
• A Sunday morning chapel for all interested coaches, judges, and/or students.</p>

Saturday’s schedule is set up to allow those who do debate only to enjoy a break after round three for lunch and those who do IEs only do not need to be there until the early afternoon so they can eat prior to arriving on campus. On Sunday we will likely be co-hosting a Superbowl party in the recreation room with Pizza for our competitors and for the school’s students. </p>

We hope you will join us on our beautiful campus for an exciting weekend of sand, surf, and speeches. </p>

Do make sure to register early and secure lodging early as we have had to turn teams away from past tournaments, and the hotel rooms have run out as well in past years do to the size of the entry. Please plan ahead.</p>
