DEBATE AND INDIVIDUAL EVENTS
Schools participating in the Debate and Individual Events program are divided into two classes.
Class “AA” represents the SDHSAA member schools with an A.D.M. enrollment of 450 and
above while Class “A” involves all other schools. Any member school wishing to participate can
directly enter the State Tournament in any of the debate or individual events without the necessity
of participating in a regional tournament.
The 2013 State Tournament crowned the 99th State Policy Debate Champions for South Dakota.
The Tournament also marked the 87th year for Extemporaneous speaking competition, the 79th
year of competition in Original Oratory, the 33rd year of Lincoln-Douglas Debate competition
and 11th year of Public Forum Debate Competition.
