15th Annual Capitol Congressional Debate Tournament

We are excited to welcome you to the Annual Austin Capitol Congressional Debate Tournament!

This is a one-day Congressional Debate Tournament and entry is limited.

Pay close attention to changes to entry for this year!!! Due to space limitations, as the week of
our tournament is also new member orientation for incoming legislators, we have had to make
some alterations to our regular rules and requirements. Changes include:

Payment deadline for entry is November 15th . Payment must be received by November 15th . Name
changes for your competitors can still be made up to the day prior to our event.

In order to make sure that each student gets the most educational experience possible, we will be
offering two divisions for debate with morning and finals chambers; Senate and House.

Novice Students are welcome to debate in two afternoon chambers each with their own awards.

Our goal is to provide a full, fun day of congressional debate in the magnificent Texas State
Capitol Building.

Special thanks to Representative Jeff Leach’s office for their support and assistance in making
this tournament possible!

Respectfully,
