The Regents of the University System of Georgia (USG) invite USG institutions to join us for the 2nd Annual Regents Cup Debate Series. This tournament will take place on April 14-15, 2026 at Columbus State University. 

The debates will feature the IPDA debate format with 4 preliminary rounds and octafinals based on the number of entries. If we have sufficient entries and judges, we will have novice breakout rounds. 
The winning program will be awarded the Regents Cup. Individual elimination round participants will also receive awards.

We look forward to seeing you at the tournament!

Sincerely,

Michael Dreher, Georgia College & State University
