Dear Coaches and Debaters,

The Debate Society of Berkeley invites you to attend the 10th annual Cal Parli Invitational, which will be held in-person on UC Berkeley campus on October 24-25 2026. The Debate Society of Berkeley is the most successful undergraduate debate team at the world’s premier public university. Each year, we host the Cal Parli Invitational, one of the largest high school parliamentary tournaments in the United States.

We will be offering five preliminary rounds in both divisions. We plan to break into Octofinals in the Open division and Semifinals in Novice, subject to adjustment based on the final field size.

We are excited to welcome competitors from across the United States. If you are an international team interested, please contact berkeleydebsoc@gmail.com.

We encourage you to contact us with any other questions regarding the tournament. We anticipate a fun, competitive, and educational tournament and hope to see you there!

Happy debating!
