Welcome to the Quarry Lane Open Scrimmage Series

We host these open online scrimmages to provide feedback to students prior to weekend competitions. Debate is live via Google Meet, and Speech is async via a submitted URL.

For debate, we offer 2 abbreviated policy rounds and 3 full public forum rounds. For speech, we offer DI, HI, OI, OO, and Extemp. Students who compete in other speech events (e.g. POI, Duo, etc) are welcome to sign up in a similar event and they can compete "with" those events but will be judged according to their own event's rules.

Entry fees are $0, but trained judges to cover entries are required. Teams can hire out judges if needed, but must pay in advance of the tournament.

Times

Speech: Video URL is due by 11:59PM PT on Tuesday. Ballot is released in late morning to judges and is due by 11:59PM PT on Wednesday. Ballots are released Thursday. Students can review Friday prior to weekend competition. For extemp competitors, topics released to coaches morning of Tuesday to distribute to best simulate an in-person environment.

Debate: Starts 5PM PT, ends 8:30PM PT. Link sent via tabroom pairing.
