TWO TOURNAMENT RULE ONLINE TOURNEY

Hosted by Mount Vernon High School Debate

Speech: Wednesday, December 2, 2026 | Debate: Wednesday, December 9, 2026

3:30–9:00 PM Pacific Time | Online via Zoom

The Two Tournament Rule Online Tourney is a last chance for schools in WA to obtain the required two tournaments in debate, speech, or congress so they can be eligible for the State Championships.

We recognize that travel costs, overnight accommodations, limited coaching resources, and busy school schedules can make tournament participation difficult, particularly for new and smaller programs. This affordable online tournament is intended to remove barriers and provide students with more opportunities to compete.

Whether your school is working toward meeting the WSFA Two Tournament Rule or simply looking for additional competitive experience, we hope you will join us. More opportunities for more students to participate in speech and debate!
