Greetings! The Capital City High School Speech and Debate team cordially invites you to attend the Capital City Classic Tournament on Friday, October 24, 2025 and Saturday, October 25, 2025 to be held at Capital City High School. 

 

The Capital City Tournament 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, October 14, 2025. To help accommodate these unique entries, teams will be capped at 3 entries per event, with additional entries being placed on a waitlist. Waitlisted entries will be granted on a first-come, first-serve basis. The deadline to submit entries will be Friday, October 17, 2025.  Drops need to be completed on SpeechWire by Noon on Tuesday, October 21, 2025. All fees are finalized after this date and time. 

 

Registration will begin at 4:00 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. If arriving early, please make sure that your students stay in the designated area and sit down. We typically house people in the upper gym bleachers, and there are classes on the track. 

 

There will be a short coaches meeting prior to the start of the tournament in the Tabs room (the Library). You can collect your folders and check in during that meeting. Please have the following completed prior to arrival.

 

 

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