Our tournament will start on Friday May 8th at 3 pm and conclude in the evening on Saturday May 9th.

Each school may enter up to 4 teams and we plan to have a four pod round robin tournament with up to 32 teams.

All rounds will be held on the St. Mark's Campus which is located at 10600 Preston Rd, Dallas, TX 75230.

We don't have a tournament hotel but if you would like assistance finding a hotel email me.

We offer one division of novice cx debate. We have a relatively broad definition of novice. For us novice means:

Any 7th, 8th, or 9th grader.

Any student in their first year of cx debate.

We expect people to come prepared to debate this topic:

Resolved: The United States federal government should substantially increase its non-military exploration and/or development of the Earth’s oceans.
