IN-PERSON THIS 2026 YEAR, SEE BELOW FOR A (TENTATIVE) EVENT CAPS NOTICE

TOURANMENT VENUE INFORMATION

As of November 1, 2026, we will be in-person for the event. We are excited to welcome you back in-person to Bellevue High.

With that above challenge from moving from online to in-person, I am working on securing as many rooms as humanly possible and do not know if numbers will spike from our earlier in-person time. That being, the most popular and fastest filling debate events will be subject to some tentative caps.

o Current event caps: Lincoln-Douglas Debate and Public Forum Debate

o Novice LD and Novice PF: 2 guaranteed entries per school, 28 total tournament entries

o Junior LD and Junior PF: 2 guaranteed entries per school, 34 total tournament entries

o Open LD and Open PF: 2 guaranteed entries per school, 40 total tournament entries

o Register students as regular and place additional entries on the Tabroom waitlist function. Register students in the correct and relevant division, and I will work on securing more rooms and moving students off the waitlist as possible

o Coaches, please email with any questions and concerns. The above is new, and an attempt to make sure all can participate and no one school is denied entry in popular events
