The University of Wyoming would like to invite applications to the 2024 University of Wyoming Round Robin, April 19th-20th. The tournament will be held in-person in Laramie. We will have three divisions: LD, PF, and policy. We will aim to have two pods in every division where there is sufficient interest. That means schools may have up to two entries accepted per division. Final entries will be selected by a UW Debate committee based on their competitive record this year.
There will be no entry fees, no judge requirements, and UW will provide all meals. We can also provide hotel rooms for any team that needs financial assistance. We hope our tournament will help teams prepare for the NSDA "Last Chance" qualifier, or knock the rust off for students already qualified for NSDA Nationals, but most of all we would like to make the Round Robin a very special experience for students that attend. We will be going all out to provide an amazing experience in regards to the competition, judging, food, trophies, and more. This year, given that we could not host our regular tournament, the UW traveling trophies will be awarded at the Round Robin. The application deadline is 4/1/2024 (though earlier applications are appreciated!).

Adrian Graham (LHS) and Matt Liu (UW) will be hosting an online workshop as a supplemental tool to help Wyoming debate competitors (LD, PF, CX) prepare for the NSDA "Last Chance" Qualifier. As the online "Last Chance" qualifier is a national tournament, students are likely to encounter 'national circuit-style' arguments. We want to help prepare Wyoming students to encounter and defeat these arguments to assist in giving them their best "last chance."
If you're interested in participating, you can sign-up here: https://forms.gle/3QAuu6vkk3oMb2c18 Students will need parental permission to participate. Congrats to the NSDA National qualifiers from Hole in the Wall today, and good luck to those of you competing at Wind River next weekend!
For those who are still hungry for their "last chance," UW would like to invite Wyoming high schools to compete at the NSDA Last Chance Qualifier (4/25-27) from our campus. For anyone not familiar, the "Last Chance" is just that: a final, national tournament where folks can compete one more time to attempt to qualify for NSDA Nationals. The Last Chance is an online tournament, but we'd love if folks came to Laramie where we can offer an in-person atmosphere of Wyoming schools coming together to compete against the rest of the nation. We will provide competition rooms, meals, and financial assistance to facilitate this. |
