Westminster

2026 — Atlanta, GA/US

Main

Divisions: The Westminster tournament will host in-person Policy and hybrid WSD divisions. TOC bids will be awarded at finals in the Varsity Policy division as well as finals in the WSD division. For Policy, we will offer Varsity, JV, and Novice divisions. The JV division is not limited to students in their first or second years of debate. We ask that coaches use their discretion when entering teams in the JV division. We intend to provide a limited pool of hired judging that will be available on a first-come, first-served basis.

Dates: The tournament will run Friday - Sunday for Varsity Policy. The other divisions (WSD, Novice Policy, and JV Policy) will conclude on Saturday.

Locations: In-person rounds will take place on the Westminster campus on the Friday & Saturday of the tournament. Varsity Policy elimination rounds on Sunday will take place nearby at Pace. Special thanks to Eric Forslund and Whit Whitmore for helping to co-host the elimination rounds of the tournament, as well as Maggie Berthiaume for tabbing the tournament.

Hotels: We have secured a room block for our attendees requiring overnight accommodations at two local Marriotts. Booking links and room rates are available on the Hotel Block page. Please note, the cut-off date for both room blocks is Wednesday, September 9th.

Payment: Payments must be received by the start of the tournament. Fees can be paid either electronically by credit card or with a physical check. Additional details are noted on the "Registration Fees" page.
