16th Annual Hurricane Debate Tournament
2022 — Temple, TX/US
The 16th Annual
Hurricane Debate Tournament
at Holy Trinity Catholic High School in Temple, Texas
September 3, 2022
Enter EARLY! Space Limited!
You are cordially invited to attend the 16th Annual Hurricane Debate Tournament held at
Holy Trinity Catholic High School, 6608 West Adams Avenue, Temple, Texas.
New debaters can earn their National Speech and Debate Association membership in one weekend!*
The intent of this little tournament is to provide students with as many rounds as possible to warm up for the season and to earn some early NSDA points.
*The National Speech and Debate Association Degree of Merit is earned after a student has earned 25 points. It is very possible for a debater to earn 25 points at the Hurricane. A student can do LD, PFD, as well as Extemporaneous Debate and Impromptu. Varsity LD debaters are asked to judge up to four rounds of novice.
This is a unique tournament for many reasons:
*Novice debaters are encouraged to watch the varsity immediately before they debate.
*Varsity debaters will judge novice rounds.
*Students can get experience in three different types of debate in the same tournament.
*We have Impromptu Speaking for Debaters, and we do two rounds of that in ONE HOUR!
*And, we offer Extemporaneous DEBATE, possibly the only tournament you'll go to--other than nationals--with this event!
Events and Fees:
- Novice LD Debate: $10
- Varsity LD Debate: $10
- Public Forum Debate: $10
- Impromptu Speaking: $5
- Extemporaneous Debate: $5
Judges:
This tournament is a low-budget affair! We will not be hiring judges. We ask that you provide as many judges as possible. At a minimum, please provide at least one judge for every two PFD teams, and one judge for every four LDers. Please know that we will be using parents and other limited experience judges as necessary. One-year out students (students who graduated last year) are welcome.
This will provide Varsity LDer's the opportunity to earn service NFL points as well as to provide feedback for the novice debaters.
