Important Information:

Due to space concerns, we have had to make some concessions to make the tournament happen while balancing the needs of the local circuit and the national circuit bids:

1. LD, PF, and CX. 5 prelims in each. Clearing up to a full octofinals as judging and entries allow. Novice and JV and Varsity in PF and LD are online. Novice and JV of CX is online.

2. Varsity CX will occur in person on the Pembroke Hill campus in Kansas City MO on Friday and Saturday.

3. LD, PF, and Novice CX will occur online only on Friday and Saturday. Local schools may request rooms at Pembroke for their online PF and LD teams to compete in. They will be assigned on a first-come first-serve basis.

4. Speech and Congress will occur in person on Saturday in-person at Pembroke Hill School. 3 prelims and break to semis in Speech. An appropriate number of congress sessions + finals based upon entry numbers.

5. In-Person Judging Requirements: 1 adult/sponsor judge to cover ALL Speech/Congress. Missouri State Debate and Pembroke Debate will be providing experienced former HS/Current College Competitors to judge the VCX division and cover the judging burden of any local MO school. You are welcome to provide flow judges to the varsity division of policy debate, but you are not required. Online Judging Requirements: 1 Judge covers up to 4 LD/PF entries.

More info will be provided soon on the right-hand sidebar in the coming weeks.
