Stephen F Austin Top Dawg Middle School Invitational
2023 — Houston, TX/US
Tournament Schedule - Updated 10/14/2023
Due to the large number of debaters, we will flight RDS 1, 2, & 3 of LD and PF. This means that we have extended the time for each debate round so that there are two flights in each session. We have marked when each flight will start. Please help us keep our schedule by having your student outside their room ten minutes before the round. We have instructed our judges to forfeit a round if the student is 15 minutes late.
