The DEBATE-Kansas City (DKC) Board of Directors sponsored the high school leg of DKC’s annual City Championship December 3rd and 4th, 2016 on the UMKC campus. Over 50 students from eight schools competed at the tournament that only featured policy debate with a novice, junior varsity and varsity division.
The DKC Board of Directors sponsorship provided food, trophies and judging for this year’s City Champs. DKC Board members judged nearly 30 rounds of debate and with DKC grads and college debaters added to the mix, the judging pool was excellent.
“Board sponsorship of the City Champs made a big impact,” noted Gabe Cook, DKC’s Executive Director. “It allowed Board members to see the program and the students up-close, and it helped DKC provide our debaters a rewarding City Champs experience.”
