2025-26 Debate Schedule

We would like to thank all of our host schools who make our season possible! Their generosity is the key to our success!

We are still working out this year's schedule. The dates are firm, but all the locations are tentative. Some schools may be listed multiple times, but will only host once. If you would like to host, please Contact Us. We would like to have two hosts, geographically well-separated, for each date.

Registration for CDA tournaments is through tabroom.com, a service to the debate community hosted by the National Speech and Debate Association (NSDA). CDA has written brief Instructions for using tabroom to help guide you through the process. Registration for each tournament opens approximately two weeks before the tournament date.
