DPS Invitational Dear coach,
You are cordially invited to the DPS Invitational at Strive Prep – SMART Academy on January 20, 2018. This tournament was previously hosted by Denver School of the Arts. While the location has changed we still plan on offering the same wonderful tournament experience for you and your students.
Events: We will be offering three rounds and finals in DI, HI, Poetry, Duo, POI, DX, IX, Original Oratory, Informative, Impromptu, CX, LD, and Public Forum.
Doubling: Debaters may not enter more than one event. Speech competitors may enter 2 events PER FLIGHT (4 events total). Extempers may not double enter in the extemp flight. Extempers risk losing prep time if they double enter in the opposite flight.

“The Academy Award”: We will be recognizing “The Academy Award for Best Speaker” to the speech student who performs the best that day based off of the number of times they appear in finals and how they place within said finals. “The Academy Award for Best Debater” will go to the debater from any of the three debate events with the highest speaker points.
Site: The tournament will be held at SMART Academy High School, 3201 W Arizona Ave, Denver, CO 80219. Please park in the parking lot on the west side of the school (along Irving street).
