The 2026 Canyon County Classic

Dates:

Friday and Saturday, November 6 and 7

Schedule:

Friday - 3 rounds of Speech, no finals (awards based on prelim results)

Saturday - 4 prelim rounds of debate (PF, LD, and WSD), plus 2 sessions of Congressional Debate. A Gold/Silver round in all formats will follow, with those who make that round receiving awards.

Panel Topics (the same will be used for Ridgevue the next weekend to give students more than one tournament for early season practice)

What can schools do to make students better prepared for careers that do not yet exist?

Does freedom require limits?

Arts should be funded as equally as sports in public schools

World School Debate!!! Entry deadline for WSD will be one week earlier (Nov 1) so that if the event needs to be dropped, students entered will have time to make plans for another event to enter.

Questions:

Please see the attached formal invitation for more specific details. Need more information? Please email Coach Lance Morris (lamorris@caldwellschools.org) or Jennifer Borman (tourament director).

Special Awards:

We will be partnering with the Roundup at Ridgevue, the next weekend (November 13 and 14), to award the top schools that attend both tournaments. The awards will be designated as the "2C Swing" awards and will be based on squad efficiency! The other sweepstakes will be based on total points

Hope to see you and welcome you to our campus in November!
