Entries for both days must be submitted on Speechwire by Tuesday, January 14, at 5 p.m.
If you are interested in either format of debate, it is helpful to let Spencer know the week prior to the tournament that you are sending teams, even if you do not know your exact entry.

We look forward to seeing you in January!
