Invite and schedule

The Chapin Speech and Debate program would like to welcome you to the 2025
HUSKY HOWLOWEEN THING. The tournament will be IN-PERSON at Chapin High
School on October 31st and November 1st, 2025. We will be offering the complete
set of events in IE’s and Congressional Debate. THERE WILL BE NO CX, LD, OR PF!

THERE WILL BE A COSTUME CONTEST ON SATURDAY, NOV 1st! Competitors in all saturday events are encouraged to wear costumes, and the normal rules against wearing costumes for IE's will be overlooked for this tournament only!

This tournament hopes to have a huge sign up of schools and individuals to offer as many qualifying events and points possible. If any events fail to meet qualifying numbers, then the event will be dropped.

Congressional Debate will be debating the following pieces of legislation from the TFA Fall 2025 Docket.

Prelims: 1, 3, 5, 7, & 9 (in that order)

Finals: 11, 13, 15, 17, &19 (in that order unless the chamber chooses to rearrange it using proper procedure)

Please refer to the schedule for event times and cross entry rules.

All cross-entries are at the student’s own risk.

If a student does not make their round on-time they may be dropped, regardless of the reason.

Students may be marked as a no-show if they have not shown up to a round within 60 minutes of the start time, and students who sign into their rounds must perform within 90 minutes of the rounds start time. In debates, students may be marked as a no-show after 15 minutes.

Out-rounds will be paneled only if we have enough judges available.

We will break brackets in debate out-rounds.

We will do our best to accelerate the schedule if/when possible, so please pay close attention to the postings and updates.

Chapin students will be competing at their own tournament, including in elimination rounds.

Student Congress will take place in the Chapin Library, PLC Rooms, and Finals will be in Room A212
