Greetings KCPDL Coaches!

It is time for the 2021 Kansas City Parliamentary Debate Championship, which will take place on Wednesday, April 21.

For the KCPDL Championship, each team is allowed 4 entries in each of debate divisions.

The monthly theme will be KC ATHLETICS.

The tournament will be held online via ZOOM. For Topic Announcement and Preparation Time, competitors will be placed into Online Breakout Rooms with their squad teammates.

At the end of the evening, we will have a Zoom Awards Ceremony to recognize our Championship & Year-Long Award Recipients.

For the Championship, we want 2 judges for every round. Results will be determined by ballot count at the end of the night. To ensure we have enough judges, each participating school should plan on recruiting 1 judge for every 2 entries.

Please submit your entries and judge names by Monday, April 19 at 3:00 PM.

We look forward to seeing you on ZOOM!

Happy Trails!

Phil Helt
RHS Speech & Debate Coach
