On behalf of the World Schools Debate Nexus Team, we are excited to invite you to our WSD Nexus Fall Kickoff Tournament! Join us on August 10th, 2024, to kick off the debate season with some great rounds!

Our Fall Kickoff Tournament aims to fulfill our non-profit goals:

This is with the ultimate goal of building debaters who will be confident and skilled enough to compete at state level tournaments and excel at nationals as well!

• Providing Excellent RFD from national level debaters and coaches alike in order to help develop the skills of new World Schools Debaters.

• Be FREE OF CHARGE to all competitors

This tournament will feature World Schools Debate and will follow the National Speech and Debate Association and Texas Forensic Association rules and procedures. All rounds will be conducted via our Discord, with tabulation managed through Tabroom.

Judging: We request that each team brings their own judge to ensure smooth operations in case we experience a shortfall, but there is no judging obligation. We are also accepting signups from high school debaters, college debaters/NSDA alumni, and other experienced judges to help out with the event! If you have any questions regarding your judging eligibility please email us.

Schedule & Motions: The tournament schedule and motions will be available on the right-hand side under the Pages & Uploads section. We will run the tournament in a round-robin format, featuring 4 rounds and potentially a finals round (depending on number of entries), making it a convenient one-day event. Please join the prep call 5-10 minutes before the start time to keep us on schedule.

Registration w/Friends: If you wish to register with friends from other schools or if your school team isn’t available, please contact a board member via our Discord server to register under our "school."
