––– DO NOT REGISTER ON TABROOM: SEE REGISTRATION IN INVITATION DOCUMENT –––

Welcome all to our first NHUDL statewide debate tournament, named after the great Reverend D. Stanley Lord, and hosted in-person at Yale from April 29-30. This tournament is open only to novice debaters, which are all middle schoolers and high school freshmen, as well as any high schoolers with less than a year of debate experience. We wanted to create an opportunity for a division that we feel is underserved in existing Yale Debate Association events.
