Tournament Schedule
The tournaments the team plans to attend this season. Each one says whether students debate in person, online from Whitefish Bay High School, or online from home, because that decides whether your student needs a ride. What the three events are is explained on Debate Events Offered.
How much notice to give:
- Wisconsin tournaments: tell Coach Clark one week ahead.
- Out-of-town tournaments: plan with Coach Clark two to three weeks ahead.
Transportation, hotels and round times follow once each tournament publishes its own schedule.
