Lincoln Railsplitter

2023 — Des Moines, IA/US

Welcome to the Lincoln Railsplitter

We will be hosting a speech tournament on Friday 12/15 We will be offering all of the NSDA main events plus Spontaneous speaking (following the standard Iowa Rules)

We will also be hosting a debate tournament on Saturday 12/16. We plan to offer chambers of congressional debate as well as novice and varsity rounds of LD an PF. Additionally, there is some interest in having a novice policy division at this tournament. Consider signing students up it would be cool to have competition in all of the debate events at a tournament in central Iowa.

I have been assured by the DMPS technology people that there will be a dedicated WIFI network for this tournament.

We will be continuing the tradition of debating the January debate topics at the Railsplitter in all divisions

More information will be forthcoming as we get closer to the tournament.
