<span style=\"font-size:11.0pt;color:black\">Dear Colleagues:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-left:81.0pt\">
<span style=\"font-size:11.0pt;
color:black\">The Point Loma Nazarene University forensics squad is pleased to invite you to our annual <b>SUNSET CLIFFS CLASSIC</b> Invitational forensics tournament. The tournament will be held February 2-3, 2013. We hope you can come enjoy our beautiful seaside campus and the typically sunny weather. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-left:81.0pt\">
<span style=\"font-size:11.0pt;
color:black\"> </span></p>
<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-left:81.0pt\">
<span style=\"font-size:11.0pt;
color:black\">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 <st1:personname w:st=\"on\">Parli</st1:personname>amentary 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.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-left:81.0pt\">

<p class=\"MsoBodyTextIndent\" style=\"margin-left:0in;text-indent:0in\">
<span style=\"font-size:11.0pt\">It is expected that Southwestern College will again offer their popular one-day swing tournament for Individual Events on Friday, February 1, 2013. 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.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=\"MsoBodyTextIndent\" style=\"margin-left:0in;text-indent:0in\">
<span style=\"font-size:11.0pt\"> </span></p>
<p class=\"MsoBodyTextIndent\" style=\"margin-left:0in;text-indent:0in\">
<span style=\"font-size:11.0pt\">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.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

On Sunday we will once again be co-hosting a Superbowl party in the recreation room with Pizza for our competitors and for the school’s students. Special thanks to this year’s San Diego Chargers for kindly avoiding any conflicts with local fans that might have been distracted from competition or judging duties, had the Chargers actually been in the Superbowl.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
