Debate is back! We are excited to continue to transition back to full-time in-person debate.
Let’s walk through how the season will work. If your question isn’t answered here or under our FAQ, please email Head Coach DJ Brynteson at dj@brynteson.info.
Practices
On Tuesdays and Thursdays, we will meet in-person at your school from 3:35 PM to 5:45 PM. This will be like our traditional practice schedule where we will do group discussion, drills, and practice.
Students will practice in two groups: Novice and Varsity in LD. In Congressional Debate, the state is moving to a House (1st and 2nd Year) and Senate (3rd and 4th Year) model for tournaments, we will hold practices together and break out into different rooms as needed.
Tournaments
All tournaments should be held in-person this year. If a tournament is done online, we will note that in the description. For most tournaments, we will leave around 7:45 AM on tournament day and return around 4:45 PM. If a tournament has a different schedule it will be noted via email.
Please see the calendar for all the information.
