Dear all,  
We cordially invite any and all freshman and second year  policy and 
Lincoln-Douglas debaters to the 1st Annual Hockaday-St.  Mark’s Frosh-Soph Open. 
The tournament will be held from  8am-6pm all day Friday and Saturday March 
11&12, 2005. The tournament will  feature 8 rounds for all.  No elimination 
rounds will be held, but awards  will be provided for the top 16 debate teams and 
the top 16 LD  debaters.

The purpose of the tournament is not to establish another  national 
championship, but simply to provide a lot of experience for new  debaters.  We hope you 
will join us. All debates will be held at the  Sheraton hotel – where the LD 
& Public Forum debates were held for this  year’s Heart of Texas invitational. 
 A small block of rooms is available  at the Westin hotel for $83/night.  You 
can make those reservations any  time after December 7.
