What are the advantages of speech and debate?

---

Competitive speech offers students a remarkable opportunity to improve their oral and written language skills in a competitive but fun environment. Speech students discuss a wide range of topics ranging from current political events, energy policy, and popular culture. In addition speech events offer numerous opportunities for students to be creative.

 

Tournament Information

 

---

All CBSR tournaments are hosted by member schools. Unless otherwise noted, all tournament begin at 8am with registration, and first round begins at 9am. For IE tournaments we have two patterns of events (A & B) and students may enter in one event per pattern. We routinely have three rounds for each pattern in an IE tournament and four rounds for a debate tournament. The awards ceremony takes place immediately after the final rounds are tallied and the winners have been determined.
