Congratulations to Oregon, Western Washington, Whitman, UC Santa Barbara, New School, NYU, and UTD on their wins in the various divisions of the inaugural BTO!

The initial BTO had 199 debates from students representing 27 schools and 17 states, judged by 64 different judges. We are eager to do future tournaments under this model - please email ericmorris@missouristate.edu if you have input on future weekends!
