Greetings! The Capital City High School Speech and Debate team cordially invites you to attend the Capital City Cavalier Classic on Friday, January 26 and Saturday, January 27, 2024 to be held at Capital City High School

The Capital City Cavalier Classic boasts a unique tournament experience in the state due to its location, drawing in schools from all over the state to compete. We will be using SpeechWire for this tournament, thus entries should be handled and submitted through the website.

To help our facility managers and to help us accommodate schools, we ask that you please indicate if you are attending by Tuesday, January 9, 2024. To help accommodate these unique entries, teams will be capped at 3 entries per event and division, with additional entries being placed on a waitlist. Waitlisted entries will be granted on a first-come, first-serve basis.

Deadline to submit entries will be Friday, January 19, 2024. Drops need to be completed on SpeechWire by Noon on Tuesday, January 23, 2024. All fees are finalized after this date and time.

Registration will begin at 3:40 pm at Capital City High School. Our school does not dismiss until 3:40 pm, so please pay close attention to arrival details that will be sent out 10 days before the tournament takes place. Expect some traffic trying to get to the school. You will receive special transportation instructions via email, so make sure the email in SpeechWire is your current address.

A hospitality room will be provided for all coaches, judges, and bus drivers. Concessions will be available for all competitors Friday and Saturday.
