As most debaters transition into the school year, we at Union have been thinking about how our organization can meet the needs of students during the regular season. After all, now that summer is over, a summer league no longer makes any sense. We took the time to re-imagine our role in the debate world and how we could continue to make a positive impact on the community.
Our mission since day one has always been to provide competition opportunities to those without them, whether that's because of geographic barriers, a lack of a team, or bureaucracy. What we've realized is that despite the abundance of online competitions that have appeared post-COVID, many debaters don't know where to find them or how to look. So, for the next few months, we've decided one key part of our mission here at Union is to inform our readers of opportunities using this nifty blog we created.
For this month, we present one tournament. In alignment with our mission, this tournament is virtual and accepts independent entries.
Ivy Street Invitational
Dates: 9/27-9/29
Registration Deadline: 9/24
Type: Virtual
Cost: $30 per LD entry
Independent Entries ALLOWED (as long as there is an adult contact.
You may need to skip parts of the school day on 9/27 depending on your schedule and time zone. They do have a weird judging obligation system, so make sure to check the invitation (second link). The cost of an uncovered round (not debater) is $50 for a round.
