- Megers sound nice but it'd have to be a hostile takeover in place, both officially and unofficially. The official hierarchy's come in the form of presidents of the organization and the like. The unofficial power structure comes both in the form of the coaches of the "top teams", and those individuals who happen to have a lot of clout in the community; (it's rather difficult to quantify this but I do believe it exists). Why I think this is a barrier: From the official standpoint, I don't believe individuals in power want to abdicate that power. They've accepted responsibilities of their office and have established political networks that they operate through in order to accomplish objectives. In a nutshell, they're comfy. From the unofficial power structure I see a couple of hinderances. Initially the pecking order would be disrupted. I'm not sure that the merger wouldn't create an initial heightening of competition which might be unhealthy. Coaches, assistants, and debaters would still recognize that "Oh, you were an NDT'r" and "Oh, you were a CEDA person" for quite a while after a merger. I'm not sure what the impact of that would be, however. Furthermore, I think there is something of a political structure in the way tournaments are scheduled. All of a sudden some schools which have traditionally hosted tournaments might find themselves being displaced, or being in competition with schools from the merger. I think this may be a barrier to integration because I don't think some individuals would want to give up their traditional role. operates on an open system. I think this would be a heated issue which would be argued about for quite a while. Then there's the judging system (strikes and MP, etc) and the judging pool (CEDA having a more diverse selection and NDT torunaments being more selective). I don't know that the "other activity" would want to expose themselves to a new selection of judges which - in the opinion of some - would "taint" the pool they have culled. Furthermore, the speech times are different (but I think that is the least of the differences). Lastly, I'm not really on top of this (I only stay in touch with my old partner who goes to Dartmouth and a friend at George Washington so my NDT 'network' is somewhat limited) but I think the regions in NDT hold a lot more meaning than they do in CEDA (as far as political support, tournament selection, and traveling).
