Welcome to the Junior Jingle Jubilee Debate Tournament!
We would be so pleased if you would share in some Christmas cheer with us as we compete in a friendly little debate tournament just for our middle school/junior students. We are offering Team Policy debate in four rounds served alongside some holiday fun!
Date: Friday, December 6; check in at 8:45 am; awards at 5 pm
Location: Gentian Baptist Church, 3853 Gentian Blvd., Columbus, GA
Registration opens: Wednesday, Nov. 6 at 8 am
Registration closes: Wednesday, Nov. 20 at 8 pm
Fees: $25 per student
Lunch:
Students will have the option to purchase lunch in the registration process. Parents should also purchase a meal as we will only have snacks and coffee available in Judge Hospitality. Your other option is to bring food with you. Parents may not leave the tournament to get food.
Parent Judging: We WILL need parent judges as this tournament is not combined with the older students' tournament. We may have a few high schoolers and alumni help with judging and we are working on recruiting some community judges, but we will mostly be relying on parent judges.
Dress Code: Normally, students are required to wear professional attire at debate tournaments, but we realize that not all students of this age have suits or blazers. If they do not, a nice pair of slacks and a dress shirt will work for boys. Girls may wear a skirt or dress that is to the knee or a nice pair of slacks. Additionally, to keep with the theme of this tournament, tasteful Christmas embellishments will be allowed and celebrated.
