A Hearty Pre-Welcome, Speech & Debate Coaches & Allies, to the second-annual Husky Howler brought to you by Hoover Des Moines!

Friday night we will host 3 rounds of speech and Saturday we'll host two Congress sessions and a full day of LD & PF debate.

By request, we will offer a novice division of LD.

We will follow an adjusted version of the typical Des Moines Tournament Schedule for these events due to co-occurring events at Hoover Friday night & to give more arrival-leeway in Extemp for traveling teams. Teams may arrive at Hoover anytime after 3:45 and set up in our commons / cafeteria area.
