Thank you all for participating this weekend. I think this is something we may continue to do even when the world returns to "normal."
Here is the announcement that was posted on facebook and the CEDA forum page last week.
Greetings!
I hope that everyone is doing well in these crazy times.
I am sending this message to remind everyone about the deadlines for
subscribing to the NDT for 2020-2021. You must subscribe to the NDT in
order to participate in any NDT activities – which include participation
at the tournament, participation at the District Qualifying Tournament,
participation in the at-large qualification process and the NDT ranking
system.
NDT subscription fees are due on October 31, 2020. The
cost of a subscription now is $100.00. On November 1, the cost goes up
to $200.00. On December 15, it goes up to $300.00. You may pay your dues
on the NDT site
https://nationaldebatetournament.org/school-dashboard/pay-annual-dues/.
You may also pay by sending a check made payable to the NDT to 324
Franklin St., Cambridge, MA 02139. You may also pay the NDT fees on the
AFA site. It is best to pay on the NDT site if you can. If you plan
to use one of the other payment options, you still need to go to the NDT
site to set up your school account if you have not already established
one and choose the “pay later” option. Once I have received your
payment, I will credit it to your account and you will show up on the
list of current members.
The Board of Trustees realizes that many
schools are in difficult financial shape this year. We are looking to
secure donors to cover the costs of subscriptions for any school that
cannot afford the subscription fee this year. If you are in that
position, please fill out this google form by October 31, 2020,
https://forms.gle/DS3iXQMunC19Vkaw7.
We need you to let us know by that date so that we know how much money
we need to raise from outside sources. You also need to set up your
account on the NDT Site if you do not already have one. Once you have
your account set up go to
https://nationaldebatetournament.org/school-dashboard/pay-annual-dues/ and select “pay later.”
If you are not sure whether you have paid, you can check the list of subscribers on the NDT site,
https://nationaldebatetournament.org/about/current-members/. Once your payment has been received, the list will automatically be updated.
Thank you,
Sherry Hall
