Only students in their first year of speech and debate participation can compete in a novice division.  Any previous experience, even in a different event, disallows participation in a novice division.

Schools outside of Canyons School District can compete in the first three tournaments. The final tournament, the district championships, is reserved for just CSD schools.  At the championships, we crown a district champion team and award special recognitions to three-year participants, team MVPs, and a Coach’s Choice Award. 

Competitors qualify for state by finishing in the top 15% of a varsity division at any tournament.
