Tentative Debate Schedule for 2023-2024
Please Note the Following: Some tournaments are listed as ONLY IF VIRTUAL. That means we will not participate in those tournaments if we are required to attend them in person (mostly because of cost, but also because such events are probably on weekends when we already have In-Person tournaments). A few tournaments will always be virtual, especially the OPL (Online Policy League) Tournaments, and the NEW Virtual TOC Qualifying series.
