Congressional Spring Shakedown!

Welcome to The Congressional Spring Shakedown! The Spring Shakedown is a tournament focused on helping debaters practice their skills by using them at an actual tournament! It'll take place over the Saturday of April 9th and will bring real judges, competitors, and staff towards bettering debaters skills and delivery via a FREE online tournament!

This tournament will serve as a place to unify the Congressional Debate community before tournament of champions, which unfortunately is online this year! So at the very least, it gives people who are going a chance to compete, prepare, and get in practice for the big nationals, TOC, and otherwise, that may be coming up! 

We’ll be hosting you through Zoom and Tabroom. Please make sure you have an account on all three platforms. If you want quick updates on the tournament, please follow our Instagram account, @springshakedown, and email us if you have any questions, shakedownspring@gmail.com!

Congress Legislation has just released! Please feel free to check it out and find out which topics will be debated!
