Tournaments are an intrinsic part of speech and debate training ("We compete to train; not train to compete!") and are NOT optional (see Member Requirements). While Colorado club members do widely participate in the tournaments we offer in our home state, students are always invited and encouraged to compete in other states as well. Many families combine trips and vacations with a tournament!
Stoa provides an excellent Tournament Calendar to keep us all updated on all of the competitions being offered nationwide. Be sure to check it out frequently as it will become more populated throughout the season.
