Learn, Reflect, Iterate

Program Overview

Welcome & Orientation

We will start the league with an orientation session for our adjudication panel and participants. We'll start with the basics, so no prior debate experience is needed.

Debates & Feedback

We'll meet for 3 tournaments consisting of 2 debates each. We'll work with teachers to create a supportive environment that encourages experimentation. Each debate will have at least two adjudicators.

The Finals & Awards

Certificates, medals, and trophies will be awarded to our top performing teams and individuals. Our top 4 teams in each division will be invited to the National Championship.
