Greetings KCPDL Coaches!

It is time for the first rounds of the 2020 - 2021 Kansas City Parliamentary Debate League Season, which will take place on Wednesday, September 30.

The monthly theme will be EDUCATION.

The tournament will be held online via ZOOM. For Topic Announcement and Preparation Time, competitors will be placed into Online Breakout Rooms with their squad teammates.

There will be an Online Judge Training Session for all judges.

Each participating school should plan on recruiting 1 judge for every 2 entries.

Please submit your entries and judge names by Monday, September 28 at 5:00 PM.

Finally, as we all venture together into the world of online competitions, please remember to extend patience, flexibility and enthusiasm.

We look forward to seeing you on ZOOM!
