The Eleventh Annual Western Championship

for Novice & Second Year Debaters

March 8-9, 2025

Coaches and Debaters:

The Bay Area Urban Debate League is excited to invite you to The Tenth Annual Western Championship for Novice & Second Year Debaters. The tournament will be held IN PERSON at City College in San Francisco. This year we will offer competition in Policy, Lincoln Douglas, and Public Forum Debate. There will be divisions in each event for Novice and Second Year competitors.

We are also providing lunch for competitors and judges on Saturday and Sunday. We'll also have snacks and drinks for sale.

Our goal is to provide an opportunity for first and second year debaters to experience a spring championship tournament in an atmosphere that promotes learning and prepares the debaters for more advanced competition. The tournament will also support the Bay Area Urban Debate League, a non-profit organization that provides debate opportunities for hundreds of low-income public school students in the San Francisco Bay Area. By attending the Western Championship you will provide your students with an excellent competitive and educational experience, while also bringing debate opportunities to students who would not otherwise have them. For more information about the BAUDL, please see our website at www.baudl.org.

We look forward to seeing you in San Francisco this spring.
