DKC held its first set of competitions for both middle school and high school students across the metro. COVID-19 restrictions forced us to adjust to virtual competition. Instead of packing into school cafeterias to announce pairings or debating in classrooms after school, everyone logged into video conferencing rooms from their bedrooms, living rooms, and home offices. Despite the separation and added complexities, students and coaches showed up ready to compete over a topic as timely as ever; Resolved: The United States federal government should enact substantial criminal justice reform in the United States in one or more of the following: forensic science, policing, sentencing. Once the timer began, everything fell right into place with none of the passion lost in an activity known for its face to face deliberation.
Below are the results for the first set of middle school and high school tournaments of the year. Let’s celebrate these students, coaches, and their resiliency during these times. Results will be posted in chronological order of the tournaments.
