Resolution Announcement

You must be in the Parli announcement room 5 minutes before the scheduled start time for each round. The Parli Room for the 2023 Piney Woods Derby is The Crossing, which is also the student room.

We are striking resolutions. 3 resolutions will be read. Gov. has up to 1 minute to strike one, Opp. has up to 30 seconds to strike one. The resolution left is the resolution for the round.

Timing

Parli Debate will be self-timed, so please bring a working timepiece. Make sure the timer has an audible countdown alarm.

Internet

The church has some limited WIFI access. It is not speedy or robust. Should there be any unforeseen issues with the internet, you will have to rely on your own cellular connection and your own minds. You are free to bring Extemp boxes or hard copies of magazines to use in prep.
