The Newberry College Speech and Debate Team invites you to the 1st Annual Southeast Squabble, a hybrid tournament to be held on Zoom and on our lovely campus September 25-26, 2026. We will be offering the 11 AFA-NST individual events plus Interviewing, IPDA Debate, and TIPDA Debate on campus. We will also be offering Public Forum Debate virtually on Friday and NPDA Debate virtually on Saturday. To accommodate our friends in the West, the online schedule has been modified to provide you with a more humane competition schedule. We reserve the option of making last-minute schedule changes and apologize for the uncertainty and any inconvenience that may cause.  

Located along I-26 in the Midlands of South Carolina, Newberry is centrally located within the state and less than 60 miles from cities like Columbia and Greenville-Spartanburg. While advertised as a “PKD Provincial Tournament,” we encourage any school to participate in the weekend’s competition. Join us in Newberry or on Zoom as you begin your season and gear up for the rest of the 2026-2027 forensics season.                                                                                                

To help with our planning, we must insist on meeting our Tuesday, September 22 entry deadline.   Please contact us with any questions. We hope to see you all in September!
