Missouri State Debate

Workweek!

We are 3 days and 4 practice rounds in! New pairings, new Frosh, new topic, and 31 days to Round 1 at Northwestern!

Congratulations to Sophia and Elijah! It was a close final round with a 2-1 decision. Peyton and Levi voted negative while the student vote was affirmative. Great job everyone!

The final round of the CX camp is underway! Jane and Vanya are affirmative while Sophia and Elijah are negative. The general topic for this year is healthcare.

Speaker awards were given out before the start of the final round. Congratulations to all these competitors!

We had a brief pause to wish Asher a happy birthday! And to eat cake! But now the camp tournament moves into semifinals.

Quarterfinals are underway! We've moved into panel judging. The healthcare debates continue.

The camp tournament is now in elimination rounds. Here are all the teams advancing to octofinals. As usual, Heather made it very clear that everyone should be ready to declare negative or affirmative if they won the coin toss. As usual, there was someone who was not ready to declare. Good luck to all of the teams!

Today is the first day of the MSDI camp tournament. Up until now, there were no decisions just feedback after rounds. Now there will be both and there will be elimination rounds on Friday. We would say good luck but really let’s just with “Go learn something” or “Say good words”
