Capital City Novice Tournament
General information This is a High School tournament in Missouri. View manager contact information
Greetings! The Capital City High School Speech and Debate team cordially invites you to attend the Capital City Novice Tournament in tandem with Jefferson City High School’s Capital Classic on Friday, January 24 and Saturday, January 25, 2025 to be held at Capital City High School.
The Capital City Novice Tournament boasts a unique tournament experience in the state due to its location, drawing in schools from all over the state to compete. We will be using SpeechWire for this tournament, thus entries should be handled and submitted through the website.
To help our facility managers and to help us accommodate schools, we ask that you please indicate if you are attending by Tuesday, January 7, 2025. To help accommodate these unique entries, teams will be capped at 3 entries per event and division, with additional entries being placed on a waitlist. Waitlisted entries will be granted on a first-come, first-serve basis.
Deadline to submit entries will be Friday, January 17, 2025. Drops need to be completed on SpeechWire by Noon on Tuesday, January 21, 2025. All fees are finalized after this date and time.
Registration will begin at 3:40 pm at Capital City High School. Our school does not dismiss until 3:40 pm, so please pay close attention to arrival details that will be sent out 10 days before the tournament takes place. Expect some traffic trying to get to the school. You will receive special transportation instructions via email, so make sure the email in SpeechWire is your current address.
While this tournament is considered an “open” tournament, we will be offering both championship and regular divisions of Policy, Public Forum, and Lincoln-Douglas Debate. However, it is possible the divisions could be combined.
A hospitality room will be provided for all coaches, judges, and bus drivers. Concessions will be available for all competitors Friday and Saturday.

A student may only enter in one format of debate: Policy, Lincoln Douglas, Public Forum.
Students may enter only one division of Extemp.
Schools must provide one judges for the duration of the entire tournament. Capital City will provide as many as they are able, but it is likely we will need more.
Entries must be made in SpeechWire with “activated” student accounts. The Host reserves the right to drop any entries that are still without names and/or activation in the week of the tournament so that we are able to appropriately plan the tournament. Advanced notice will be given.
We will comply with all MSHSAA rules and regulations regarding the use of electronic devices and the internet. It is a coach’s affirmative duty to ensure their students are aware of the rules and abide by them.
In the event MSHSAA does not cover the event, NSDA rules will apply.
IMPORTANT: In preparation for MSHSAA Districts, if a competitor performs in the wrong room, they will receive the last place ranking in the room.
