View manager contact information

Welcome to the TournaShop!  In this single-day event, your varsity students will compete in DEBATE (4 rounds), IE (3 rounds), and Student Congress (2 rounds).  While they compete, parents and novice students will watch and learn.  Then during lunch, novice and varsity students will discuss their categories with each other while the PARENTS AND INTERESTED ADULTS attend training sessions on "How to Judge." 

Following the varsity tournament, varsity students will judge a modified NOVICE ROUND along with the newly trained parents!  This is a unique opportunity to have NOVICE students walk through the tournament process.  We will talk them through the typical tournament and go through ONE ROUND of very non-stressful competition.  Multiple judges will be in each round, if the numbers permit.  Students do not need to be memorized, they will only present the best TWO to THREE minutes of their speeches, and we rely on seasoned judges, the day's parents, and varsity students to serve as judges. Debate categories will compete according to the standard rules (time restraints) and Extempers should speak for just THREE minutes.  We want to take the pressure off!

REMEMBER, we will offer JUDGES' TRAINING for your parents and "WORKSHOPS" for your contestants during lunch.  Parents are encouraged to watch the first three rounds of varsity and then attend training.  To register parents or other people for judges' training, click HERE. During lunch, students will sit accordng to category with interested coaches and varsity students; novices can ask questions or just get some encouragement! 

 

Trophies for Varsity, places 1-3.  Ribbons for places 4-6.

All Novice Students will receive certificates.

 

Also, we are collecting children's books.  We'd love it if you could bring some gently-used books!

LD and PF: We will be using the OCTOBER topics.

Congressional Debate will use the docket provided. Simply download the legislation.

Please make checks out to Centerville High School Speech and Debate.

 

We look forward to seeing you in Centerville on October 8th! Please be sure to register by Wednesday October 5th!
