Welcome to the busy winter speech and debate season with this relaxed day of Big Questions debate. 

We will also offer workshops for students on the new LD and PF topics and a coaches workshop on upcoming events.

We will be featuring Big Questions debate, a new event NSDA is testing that asks competitors to analyze complex worldview topics. The Big Questions topic for this year is "Resolved: Science leaves no room for free will."  We will follow all NSDA rules for Big Questions. https://www.speechanddebate.org/big-questions/ 

To encourage participation in this fun new format we will offer a ten dollar entry credit to our Grizzly Invitational for each debater in Big Questions who registers on Tabroom and debates on Jan 2nd. We will also offer a 20 dollar credit for our Tournament for each judge that joins us on Jan 2nd.
