Middleton-Cross Plains Area High School and James Madison Memorial High School
Proudly Host

The Badgerland Debate Tournament

Dear Debate Coaches:

The Middleton Debate Team is honored to host its fifth annual debate tournament. This year we have partnered with James Madison Memorial High School in order to offer an expanded weekend of competition. To recognize this new partnership, we have changed the name of our tournament to the Badgerland Debate Tournament. We invite you and your forensics or debate team for an enjoyable weekend of competition on Friday, November 13 and Saturday, November 14.

We will continue to offer an efficient event with excellent judging and superior competition. Similar to previous Middleton Tournaments, we will offer individual awards for winning team members, including speaker awards in all divisions. We feature some of the lowest entry fees for a Tournament of Champions caliber event.

We are proud to announce that this year's event has been recognized as a University of Kentucky Tournament of Champions qualifying event in Public Forum Debate at the semifinal level and Tournament of Champions qualifying event in Lincoln Douglas Debate at the finals level.

We have expanded our hotel options from last year. In addition to the Fairfield, Courtyard, and Residence Inn from last year, we have added a Hampton Inn. All of the hotels are within a ten minute drive of Middleton or Madison Memorial High School. We would really appreciate it if you stayed in a tournament hotel. 

Please review the information that we have loaded to this website. If there is something that we can do to assist your squad in attending our event, please ask. We would be honored if you joined us.

Sincerely,

Nick Bubb
Tournament Director

P.S. - If you are wondering, "Where is Middleton?" or "Where is Madison Memorial?" The City of Middleton is directly adjacent to the City of Madison. Middleton is a West Side suburb of Madison. Madison is Wisconsin's second largest city, the state capital, and home to the University of Wisconsin. James Madison Memorial High School is about a five minute drive from Middleton High School.

If there is anything that we can do to increase your enjoyment of our community (restaurant recommendations, etc), please let us know. We enjoy living in Dane County and we want you to have an enjoyable visit.
