    DEADLINE
    7 November 2022

    ELIGIBILITY

    Information

    The Carrollton High School Speech and Debate Team is happy to announce Peach State 2022, which will be held in-person at Carrollton High School except for our Public Forum (PF) events.
    Public Forum will function as a hybrid, which will give opportunity for debate for both our in-person attendees and online participants.
    If a Public Forum debate team comes in-person to Carrollton High School, they will be assigned a room in the school from which they can debate–debates will then function completely on NSDA Campus. The same will occur for Public Forum judges, and any judges who are in-person at Carrollton High School will be assigned a room in the school.
    Any Public Forum debaters who do not attend the in-person tournament–the event will function as a normal online tournament. All Public Forum rounds, regardless of in-person attendance, will be published on NSDA Campus and all Public Forum debates will take place online.
     
    A debate with an in-person judge will operate just like a regular in-person debate.
    A debate with an online judge will have all four competitors in the same room, but the students will sign into NSDA Campus so they can see their judge.
      
     We are excited to offer an online Middle School Division
    We are excited to welcome you virtually to the 2022 Peach State Classic hosted by Carrollton High School in Carrollton, GA, Georgia. Our tournament will be held November 11-12, 2022 exclusively online through the NSDA Campus Platform.

    Competitors will debate the 2022-2023 NSDA Resolutions We will offer competition varsity, junior varsity, and novice. The Junior Varsity division is intended for students who are starting their second year of debate. The novice division will follow GFCA rules and argument restrictions.

    This year we are excite to offer a Middle School Division as well as Debate Events: Policy Debate, Public Forum Debate, Lincoln Douglas Debate and Student Congress.  Individual Events:  Ext, OO, HI, DI, DUO, POI, and Impromptu

    ALL PUBLIC FORUM will be online.  All schools have a choice to come to Carrollton High School to debate.  You will get your own room to use for your debate as well as have access to our top notch concessions and food as well as the in-person experience.

    ​JUDGE PROVISION

    ​Click here to complete the highly recommended Cultural Competency judge training course

    Signing up a judge without having a Tabroom account will result in us charging you for the set up fee.
    ​You can do this easily on your own by going to tabroom.com. It literally takes less than a minute.


    First time judging? Click here to learn how to do it! Or watch our Youtube playlist here.
    ​There are also these training cards available that include a summary of each event's rules and comments.​

    ​This tournaments recommends judges to have a paradigm on their Tabroom account, which can be a few sentences on your preferences of debating styles, etc. See here for example. It doesn't need to be this long, but make sure to add something before you sign up. For example: "I am a parent, please speak clearly and slowly and avoid technical jargon".​

    ​More tournament resources can be found here.
