The Georgia Institute of Technology invites you to attend the 9th Annual Georgia Parliamentary Debate Association state championship debate tournament. This year’s tournament features three rounds of Open and Novice Competition in both the IPDA formats of parliamentary debate on February 27, 2022. The tournament will be held virtually via forensicstournament.net due to concerns surrounding COVID-19. The official tournament will have a different cumulative sweepstakes formula than in the past.
