The Harvard Debate Council is delighted to announce the continuation of the Harvard Debate Council International Tournaments, a series of online tournaments to be held throughout the year. We hope to provide a series of competitions offered at times that will allow students around the globe (American students included) to compete against each other. All tournaments will take place on Friday and Saturday evenings in the Americas and on Saturday and Sunday mornings in Asia.

The Dec tournament will be hosted on Dec 13 & 14 (US/Canada) and  Dec 14 & 15 (Asia).

Please note, however, that we will use the NSDA Sep/Oct PF topic (UN).

All participants should report to the online rooms within 5 minutes after pairings are released.

All participants must return to and remain in the online rooms 10 minutes before the start time.
