Fellow Coaches,

The coaches, students, and administrators of Iowa City Liberty High School and Iowa City West High School are proud to invite you to the Iowa City West/Liberty Novice One Day tournament. This event will be held in person at Liberty High School on October 15, 2022. This event is a novice only event. Our goal is to provide novices with high quality rounds in a safe and educational environment. Varsity team members are welcome to judge with the intent of reducing costs for teams entering.

-Novice is defined as any student in their first year of high school debate. Previous high school debate prior to this year will disqualify a student from the novice division. 

When registering, an adult coach that is associated with a school must be the one to register. Students can’t register independently.

 

Awards will be given out to the top students in each division.

 

All of the important details are located below.

 

We hope to see you all in October.

 

John Cooper & Kalen McCain
