This open invitational tournament promises to be one of the most prestigious and competitive events in the local debate calendar.

This tournament is perfect for exposure to a high level of debating and for training for the upcoming World Universities Debating Championships and the rest of the debate year ahead!



This year we are proud to have 2 very accomplished gentlemen as our CA and DCA, on top of a very high quality adjudicators' pool.
