I didn't know the Nationals site was operational. Thanks for the information! If I were going I would totally order some merch.
That schedule is crazy! I've never been to Nationals so it's kinda a shock to me. Talk about weeding out the weak...
@TheDoctor...did you see the tickets you can buy to the theme park?! I wonder if the theme park is advertising for Nationals for some cross-promotion? I know where I would be once I got booted out of rounds.
hmmm, I'm really interested in who people think will be top contenders. Any thoughts?

If anyone is interested: The Nationals official website put up ordering forms to purchase KC Royals tickets for when your team is in town (http://debatekc2010.org/kc-royals-ticket-order/).
Because instead of resting up for semi/prelim rounds that start the next day at 8 AM you should be going to a baseball game at 7 PM the night before. And does anyone else see this as jinxing yourself by pre-ordering tickets for your team when you should be focusing on kicking butt at Nat's?
haha, I'm just kidding. Play ball!
So, I kind of want to know why they didn't mention international extemp under events offered. I know that it's offered......
The NFL has stated that the following topics/resolutions will be released on:
Extemp topics and L-D/Public Forum Debate Resolutions: May 1st
Congressional Legislation: May 10th
Supplemental Debate Topic Resolutions: May 15th
Storytelling: Fairy Tales
So if the NFL sells 1,000 pre-order tickets by June 2nd Scott Wunn (NFL Executive Director) will be throwing out the first pitch of the game. Ummmm, I think this needs to happen :)
Game is June 16th. Kansas City Royals vs. the Houston Astros. Tickets are $12 when pre-ordered.
And speechies and debaters, we are only a few hundred ticket orders away from seeing Forensics spotlighted at a baseball game!!!
