Dear Colleagues and Competitors,

The Coppell Speech and Debate Program cordially invites you to attend the online New Tech @ Coppell tournament January 9-10, 2026. The tournament will be conducted virtually through NSDA Campus. We will offer TFA and (hopefully) NIETOC qualifications.

We are thankful to those who have supported the growth of this tournament over the years. We promise efficient & accurate tabulation, qualified judging, and top-notch customer service.

The tournament offers varsity competition in CX, LD, WSD, PF, Congress, and Individual Events. We will also offer novice CX, novice LD, novice WSD, and novice Extemp. Debate will feature 4 preliminary rounds. Debaters & Congress will be able to cross-enter in Section A (including extemp).

Novice debaters are welcome to enter novice (or varsity) events. We are committed to a low- or no-cost experience for UDL programs; please reach out to us.

Please let one of us know if you have any questions. We look forward to seeing you (online) in January!
