2026 Precedented Times

Welcome to Precedented Times!

Are you and your partner searching for a final debate check or just worried about getting more reps to prepare you for next year? Come to Precedented Times! Rather than trying to re-invent the wheel, we are throwing it back to an older era of Virginia debate when tournaments were shorter and outrounds non-existent. It's nothing complicated, but we hope to serve you well by providing a one-day opportunity to further hone your skills for God's glory.

Date: April 25

Location

Oak Hill Christian School
13525 Dulles Technology Drive - Suite 101
Herndon, VA 20171

Events

Debate: Parli, TP

Registration Window

Open: Saturday, March 21st - 8:00 AM EST
Closes: Saturday, April 11th - 12:00PM EST

Registration Fee

$35 per family - reminder that each competitor can only compete in one form of debate, since TP and Parli rounds will be run simultaneously

Make sure you register early to secure your spot, since our location has a limited number of rooms.

Parent Judges

While we hope to have a number of community judges to assign to the school's 11 rooms, parents will likely be asked to judge a couple times, given the smaller size of the tournament. Students will need to have their parent physically with them at check in.
