Dear Colleagues,

The International Speech and Debate Initiative (ISDI) is delighted to invite you to our JW Patterson Tournament of Champions Qualifying series, co-sponsored by the TOC and the Harvard Debate Council.

The ISDI TOC Qualifying Tournaments are a series of online tournaments to be held throughout the year with an emphasis on global participation. This tournament, the 2nd in the series, will be administered by the University of Kentucky. The 1st and 3rd tournaments in the series will be administered by the Harvard Debate Council.

TOC qualification describes the process students complete to reach the JW Patterson Tournament of Champions, hosted by the University of Kentucky. Qualification for the Tournament of Champions is reserved for the best public speakers and debaters around the globe. We hope to provide a series of competitions offered at times that will allow students around the globe (American students included) to compete against each other. All tournaments will take place on Friday and Saturday evenings in the Americas and on Saturday and Sunday mornings in Asia.
