Gardner Edgerton Debate Invitational

2025 — Gardner, KS/US

Welcome to Blazer Nation!

Gardner-Edgerton High School cordially invites you and your debaters to attend the Gardner-Edgerton “Blazer” Invitational Debate Tournament on Saturday, November 8th.

We will host open, JV and novice divisions. JV is limited to first- and second-year debaters and we will not be very understanding if you won’t honor the letter of this rule. We reserve the right to disqualify any students found in violation of this rule. Novices should run Native Renewables, Domain Awareness, Science Diplomacy, or Russia LNG (the traditional novice packet). Novice is limited to packet evidence. Prep time will be 8 minutes for all divisions.

Please register on TabRoom.

Entry fees are $5.00 per team. Coaches or sponsors will be asked to judge at least one round if a judge is not provided.

Below is a copy of our tournament schedule, the tournament regulations and entry are attached. If our tournament is filled when we receive your entry, we will notify you immediately. The entry deadline is Friday, October 31st.

Any teams more than ten minutes late to their round through no fault of the tournament will receive a forfeit loss on a seven.

There will be concessions available (hotdogs, nachos, pretzels, popcorn, soda, candy, etc.) as well as our very own "Blazer Grounds" coffee shop. The menu for this is provided below. Concessions and the Blazer Grounds accept cash, card, apple pay, and Google pay.

We look forward to seeing you on November 8th!
