This year we will also offer a new event&mdash;Interviewing&mdash;which is featured at the Pi Kappa Delta national tournament. This event is open to all competitors, but will not count towards sweepstakes.</p> <p>For the Tabor-Venitsky, we will offer four rounds of NPDA parliamentary debate breaking to a bronze/gold elimination round format on Friday and three rounds of Individual Events breaking to finals on Saturday. Each day will feature a quick awards ceremony. Students may enter a maximum of two IE events per pattern. We will offer two divisions in parliamentary debate and individual events.
