Cottonwood Classic 2026
Fri–Sat, January 30th–31st (1/30-1/31)
The final local tournament featuring our all of our main Speech & Debate events concludes with the Cottonwood Classic hosted by CCPS in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
Students compete in their main Speech and/or Debate events in a traditional two-day tournament. Competitors will have preliminary rounds before breaking into additional elimination rounds featuring the top-performing students. The top-placing students in elimination rounds will receive awards.
This is the same structure that the State Championship will use, so it is great to practice.
This is a great final opportunity for interested students to compete this year, particularly if they haven’t gotten to yet, and for students to get practice prior to the State Championship!
Specific event information, schedule, and the tournament invitation are available via the Tabroom.com link:
Registration is due no later than Wednesday, 1/14 at 4:00pm.
