THE TENTH ANNUAL STRAKE JESUIT DEBATE TOURNAMENT - DECEMBER 17-18, 2022

Greetings,

We cordially invite you to attend the tenth Strake Jesuit Tournament at our scenic campus in Houston, Texas. We offer a Tournament of Champions (TOC) qualifying semis bid in Lincoln-Douglas debate. This year’s tournament will be IN-PERSON. Setting this tournament apart is the high-quality judging and unique awards. We will be working with the Texas Debate Collective (TDC) and, as such, promise to provide a variety of highly preferred judges. Additionally, we request entrants provide experienced judges capable of adjudicating national circuit LD rounds. As for awards, we will offer high-tech prizes for first and second places. As has become tradition, the top two debaters will each receive a Chromebook. The top three speakers will be awarded speakers.

• We will have 6 preliminary rounds for Varsity LD.

• We will be using the January/February NSDA resolution

• All fees must be paid in full before the start of the tournament.

• Judge obligations are as follows:

• One judge is required for every two entries.

• Schools can buy out each judging obligation for $225.

Fees will be collected using our online payment portal. Checks and other forms of payment will not be accepted. All entries will be waitlisted pending payment. Once payment has been made, kindly wait up to 72 hours for Tabroom to update. All proceeds will be donated to TDC.

Feel free to contact any of us with questions.
