Large Tournament and New Friends Highlight First UDL Tournament of Season

Roosevelt UDL Tournament
November 7-8, 2003

The Seattle UDL hosted its first tournament of the season November 7-8, 2003 at Roosevelt HS. Nine teams from throughout Western Washington attended the tournament. The tournament was the biggest ever for the Seattle UDL, with over 100 people in attendance.

This was the first UDL tournament designed as an "invitational" tournament. As part of our effort to integrate the UDL into the existing debate circuit, we opened our doors to teams from all over the state. We were proud to welcome Eastlake, Lakeside, Mariner, Newport and Seattle Academy as participants in the first-ever open invitation UDL tournament.
