Welcome all to the Speech Invitational at Northwestern University!

We’re excited to feature all the speech events offered at the Tournament of Champions in both Middle and High School/Open divisions. For those not planning to attend one of the TOCs, we hope the format allows a high level of competition for all teams. We’re looking forward to providing an accessible tournament at a time in the season when opportunities that don’t require qualification have lulled.

All videos will be prerecorded and go through several rounds of judging during the week before elimination rounds during the weekend.

Please see the Tournament Invitation for more details. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact the tournament email (debatenorthwestern@gmail.com) or the tournament directors on the right.

Schedule Outline:

April 1st: Video submissions are due at midnight (CST)

April 3rd and 4th: Preliminary Rounds Judging

April 5th: Semifinal Judging

April 6th: Final Judging and Award Video Release
