Bettendorf Bulldog Invitational

 Speech and Debate Tournament

Friday, Nov. 10^th – Saturday, Nov. 11^th

Dear Colleagues:

Bettendorf is proud to announce the Bulldog Invitational to be held on Friday, November 10^th – Saturday, November 11^th, 2017.  This is an especially exciting year because Bettendorf is celebrating its 50^th year of Speech and Debate at Bettendorf High School.  This is a huge milestone and we hope you will consider joining us this November to celebrate the occasion – all schools are welcome. 

Our tournament will offer a full range of Speech and Debate events.  The full schedule is located on the Schedule tab, but please note that Congress is Friday only and Speech events are Saturday only.  We are offering both Novice and Varsity divisions of every debate event: Lincoln-Doublas Debate, Policy Debate, and Public Forum Debate.  Varsity Lincoln-Douglas and Policy students are encouraged to attend as additional student judges, but please note this on your judge registration form.  As part of the Iowa Debate Initiative (IDI) program that was ran this year, we will be offering separate Novice Lincoln-Douglas events that will run Friday night only and another event that will run Saturday only.  Students can attend both events, just know there will be separate awards for each. 

We encourage you to register early, so we can plan appropriately for our tournament.  We look forward to hosting you.  If you have any questions, feel free to send me an e-mail at jrankin@bettendorf.k12.ia.us.  Thank you for your time and see you this November.
