The College Preparatory School Debate Team is pleased to invite you to its twentieth annual Lincoln Douglas debate invitational. We will offer five and six preliminary rounds of competition in two divisions, Novice and Varsity respectively.

Tournament highlights include: 

*Early competition on the NFL January/February topic (in the Open division), which will be used at the Barkley Forum, Stanford, and Cal tournaments.

*Outstanding judging pool.

*Awards OR charitable donations for all elimination round participants, based on their preference.

*Tournament swag for all participants (to be mailed to schools after the tournament).

Our purpose in hosting this tournament is to provide a competitive opportunity on the West Coast for Lincoln Douglas debaters.

We like hosting an all Lincoln Douglas tournament, a tournament at which Lincoln Douglas debate is treated with respect, rather than as an afterthought. We are a TOC bid tournament at the quarter-final level. 

If you have questions, please email us at lexy@college-prep.org. We look forward to hosting you in December. 

Sincerely,
