Please email [email protected] with your number of teams and the grades of your students.
- A team consists of two affirmative speakers, two negative speakers, one judge and one timer. A team may also include an alternate speaker for one or both sides (alternate can double as timer). Speakers must be students at WCCSE member schools, and can be from any grade 5-8 or combination of grades 5-8.
- Register with one team and submit requests for second teams; such requests will be considered as space allows. There must be a judge accompanying each team (i.e., two teams from one school means two judges from that school).
- Judges MUST be qualified with our current scoring system (revised 2019).
- I will provide an online training opportunity sometime in early November.
- High school students experienced with debate may serve as judges IF they prepare with our new scoring system AND they are accompanied by an adult throughout each round.
- Our scoring system has been revised to reduce the "speed-reading" and emphasize both use of evidence and quality of delivery. Please review the 2019 scoresheet (below) and direct any questions to Kristin ([email protected]).
