Spooky and Spectacular: Roseville Debate Results
Thank you to all who joined us for a ghoulishly good time at our Halloween-themed Rosebowl Tournament! Students brought their best creative ideas and festive costumes to compete for additional fun awards – the Brian Plunkett Creative Argument Award and our Best Individual and Team Costume prizes. And of course, debaters competed for partnership and individual speaker awards like usual. Keep reading to learn who went home with our coveted bowling pin trophies!
Community Awards
Our trophies were painted by MNUDL staff members. 50 pins in total were created for the event!
Many of the designs were conceptualized by our own students and executed by staff members.
Mia W. from Eagan High School learned the Brian Plunkett Creative Argument Award.
Ka-chow! This brilliant Lightning McQueen costume earned our Individual Costume Award.
These fanciful Over the Garden Wall costumes brought home our Best Team Costume Award. 
Of course, Farmington’s stable of My Little Pony characters deserves a shout out.
Tournament Results
Two halves of the tournament were held: a virtual online half (Friday) and in-person half (Saturday). Team awards are given to the two-person partnerships who have the strongest win/loss records.
