SUMMARY:NOF Oak Invitational (Oct 3)
DESCRIPTION:This is a video recording tournament. We record our speech or our debate case\, we submit the file before the deadline\, and judges watch the recordings afterwards. Nothing happens live. \nWhen\nSubmission window opens Saturday\, October 3\, 2026 \nHow We Enter\nRegistering costs nothing. It tells our coach that we intend to compete\, and our coach then enters us at the tournament. Use the sign-up form at the bottom of this page. \nWhat To Know\nTell our coach as early as possible\, because entries close well before the tournament date and a partner has to be arranged for debate. If we have to withdraw\, we must say so before the deadline.

SUMMARY:IPPF International Public Policy Forum (Oct 13)
DESCRIPTION:The International Public Policy Forum is a written debate contest run by the Brewer Foundation together with New York University. Every team writes a position paper on one resolution\, and the teams with the strongest papers advance through written rounds until eight teams are invited to New York for an oral final. \nThe 2026-2027 Resolution\nResolved: The United Nations should prioritize protecting the rights of women and girls over respecting state sovereignty. \nWho May Enter\nThis contest is open to high school students. Middle school and elementary students are not eligible\, so our younger teams should follow this contest rather than enter it. \nWhat We Submit\, and When\n\nQualifying round essay due — October 13\, 2026\nTop 64 teams announced — November 6\, 2026\nRound of 64 begins — November 13\, 2026\nTop 32 teams announced — December 29\, 2026\nRound of 32 begins — January 6\, 2027\nSweet 16 teams announced — February 9\, 2027\nSweet 16 begins — February 20\, 2027\nElite 8 teams announced — March 2\, 2027\nIPPF Finals Weekend — April 16-17\, 2027\n\nHow This Contest Works\nEvery round after the qualifying essay is a written exchange\, which means our team reads the other team’s paper and answers it in writing. There is no live speaking until the final rounds\, so this contest rewards careful research and clear writing more than it rewards delivery. \nSource: International Public Policy Forum\, ippfdebate.com\, Last Accessed: September 2026
