DISTRICT TOURNAMENT RESULTS

Students have the opportunity to compete for a slot to Nationals in International Extemp, US Extemp, Original Oratory, Informative Speaking, Humorous Interp, Dramatic Interp, Duo Interp, Program Oral Interp, Policy Debate, Lincoln-Douglas Debate, Public Forum Debate, and Congressional Debate.  Highly qualified EastMO NSDA Honor Society students also have the ability to bid for advancement to Nationals in World Schools Debate.

This tournament is often referred to as a "series" because it is organized in three different segments:
  • Congressional Debate (Senate and House) are held one weekend.
  • Speech and Debate are held several weeks later with rounds alternating between speech rounds and debate rounds.
  • World Schools Debate is a bid/application process that takes place the week after the Speech & Debate segment.

The tournament series concludes with the annual Eastern Missouri NSDA Awards Ceremony.  Top placing students in each event will be named to the "EastMO Team" and work collaboratively between schools to prepare for Nationals!
