The Non-Trad Showdown is a tradition at the Gonzaga Debate Institute that attempts to show what happens when two “K Teams” face one another. This Showdown is unique in that both sides agreed to provide no disclosure and to flip for sides right before the debate. This Non-Trad Showdown features the Edebate Allstars (Jon Sharp and Mike Hester) on the Aff and Idaho State OD (Scott Odekirk and Izak Dunn) on the Neg.
Part 1
Part 2
Decisions: Corrigan, Naputi, Pointer
1. The airport shuttle times are 8,10 and 12. If your flight leaves before 9:30 you MUST take a taxi to the airport. You risk missing your flight otherwise.
2. It is now time to start cleaning out your room. You don’t want to spend your entire last night packing and cleaning. Think ahead. You will not be able to check out until your room is clean, you are fully packed and all of the trash is taken out.
3. If you have not already done so, please send your flight information to gdistaff@gmail.com if you plan on taking the shuttle.
