This tournament is geared towards students who are curious about debating competitively.
For $15.00*, students get to compete in 3 competitive debate rounds, in which they will be ranked based on their win/loss ratio and speaker points.
Format
The format will be a modified version of SPAR, which will be similar to the format they've been using in class, although they will get a bit more preparation time. Students will receive information on this format in class, and we will prepare all students that compete in the weeks leading up to the class.
Students will receive their topic 15 minutes before their debate starts.
