University of Calgary Debate Society
2020 Canadian Parliamentary Nationals
March 20th-22nd

This is the registration form for University of Saskatchewan Debate Society members that are interested in attending CP Nats, either as a debater or as a judge! We're hoping to send as many people as possible. Please fill out this form if you intend to come to this tournament.

If you intend to come as a debater and don't have a partner, that's okay! We will find you one from here or from another school.

Registration fees are $75 per each debater, and $75 per each judge.  The USDS can guarantee funding for accommodation and gas costs for all debaters and judges attending the tournament. Note that registration fees are your own responsibility. Your registration fee will earn you a spot in the tournament, as well as dinner on Friday, breakfast, lunch, and supper on Saturday, and breakfast and lunch on Sunday. Regardless of whether you are registered as a judge or a debater, the USDS will provide accommodations and cover travel expenses (gas money).

The USDS will be reserving an AirBnB for anyone who is attending the tournament. If you have other arrangements, that is absolutely fine, but please indicate so on your form!

In terms of transportation, we are very grateful to anyone that volunteers to be a carpool driver. Calgary isn't that far, and it saves both money and the environment when we can travel together! USDS will pay for your gas!
