This competition will feature IPDA Debate (International Public Debate) for both Novice and Varsity Divisions in a single kickoff weekend. Competitors will compete in FOUR preliminary rounds of individual competition followed by three elimination rounds both on Saturday, September 14th and Sunday, September 15th. Sorry, no IE’s!

All entries must be received by Wednesday, September 11th, 2019, at 5:00 pm (EST). You must register at the Speechwire.com website which provides all of our tournament information. Emailed entries will not be accepted. Changes will be accepted without charge until Thursday, September 12th, 2019 at 12:00 p.m. at which late fees will be set. Late fees will be charged for any changes after the 12th at noon (in addition to any fees associated with the entry).

My hope is that this will be an excellent opportunity for new debaters to have their first tournament experience and for returning varsity competitors within our district to get into their groove for the 2019-2020 competition season. Pre-tournament updates will be distributed here via the Speechwire website. If you have questions, please feel free to contact me at Randy.Perez44@qmail.cuny.edu any time.
