Dear Coaches and Competitors,

We are thrilled to invite you to the 2025 Sioux Falls Roosevelt Sweetstakes which will be held in Sioux Falls SD on February 7th-8th!

This year we are offering five preliminary rounds of debate with all winning records clearing (amount of elimination rounds subject to entries)

Once again in PF we are a Silver bid at Semis and a Gold Bid at Finals!

A couple of notes on things that will be new this year:

1. We will be doing judge preferences in all events

2. Everything will be online (postings, ballots, etc). This is to insure the tournament runs as smoothly and efficiently as possible. This means that ALL judges and competitors will be required to have linked Tabroom accounts. Please reach out if you have questions or need any assistance on this

3. The tentative schedule is as follows:

Friday:

PF/LD

RD 1 4:00 PM

RD 2 6:00 PM

Saturday

RD 3 8:00 AM

RD 4 10:00 AM

RD 5 12:00 PM
