Dear Coaches and Competitors,

We are thrilled to invite you to the TOC Digital Speech and Debate Series #3 Tournament, hosted by the University of Kentucky, on March 7-9, 2025. This tournament promises a challenging yet rewarding competition for all levels of debaters and speakers. Our events will include Policy, Public Forum, Lincoln Douglass, Congressional Debate, World Schools Debate, and Individual Events/Speech. We will offer Open/Varsity and Rising Star divisions in Policy, Public Forum, and Lincoln Douglas. We look forward to a weekend filled with dynamic arguments and impressive performances.

Our goal is to provide an inclusive, educational environment where students can showcase their talents, develop critical thinking skills, and engage with others from various schools, regions, and even internationally. We will have experienced judges, a smooth schedule, and plenty of opportunities for feedback to help each participant improve their skills.

Please find attached details regarding registration, tournament format, and fees. Our tournament Best Practices and Procedures document as well as the tournament schedule are available on Tabroom. Should you have any questions, feel free to reach out to our tournament director at toc.debate@uky.edu.

We look forward to seeing you online in March and wish your team the best of luck throughout the season!
