2024 IPDA High School/Junior High National Championship

We are so excited to be hosting the 4th IPDA National Championship. Last year we piloted junior high this year we are making it official. We are also very excited to announce the official partnership of the IPDA HS/JH Circuit and the University of Central Arkansas Speech and Debate team.

Nationals going forward will be hosted at the beautiful University of Central Arkansas campus located in Conway, Arkansas. Home to nearly 15,000 students.

Some new things this year:

We are counting wins and losses in points to qualify for the national tournament

Only IPDA rounds will count for qualification to nationals

High School students need 72 points to qualify and junior high students need 50 points to qualify

We will also recognize the top performing programs at nationals as well.

You can locate season long points here. If you would like to offer IPDA at your tournament virtually or in person, please request approval to the IPDA HS Circuit through tabroom and reach out and we will assist you in putting your event together.
