The Westminster Tournament

Westminster has hosted a tournament off-and-on since the 1990s. It has been called the Westminster Debates, the Westminster Debate Tournament, The George Woodruff Debates, and — most recently — just "Westminster." The current iteration of the tournament has been hosted since 2016 and has typically occurred on the weekend before Thanksgiving. The last Westminster tournament before 2016 was held in 2008.
