So we invite you to come compete at our tournament as we pilot some features to make the Pejaver & future national tournament a more enjoyable experience for all. You can find most information for the tournament in the tournament invitation located in the "files for download" page above. Please note important tournament updates below:
Events: In addition to IPDA, we will offer an IE tournament and two team formats of debate: Team IPDA and TN Parli (TNPDA as a whole & novice/open divisions pending enough entries to sustain the format).
