Pardon an old dinosaur asking a question. I was in college debate in the stone age(1975-79). I never heard of "parli" and am fascinated with it. We did not have the multiplicity of different styles and organizations in my day. It was mainly just NDT, Pi Kap, and that was it. Only NDT was taken seriously.
Does Dartmouth still do policy debate? Do you have tournament for each? When are they?
I was in Texas so I never made it to a northern tournament. Of course Dartmouth was legendary even back then.
Dartmouth has both parli and policy teams. The policy team is still dominant. The parli team is also on the up-and-up.
