State District Two: State Qualifying Procedures

2023-2024 Season


 

Welcome to District Two. We look forward to an outstanding year culminating with success in March. Students can qualify to state through their performances at meets throughout the year, and any ties or additional berths will be determined at the District Two State Qualifying Tournament in February (Redmond HS).


In order to be eligible to compete at the State Tournament in an area (Debate/Speech/Congress), your school MUST have competed at least twice in one event in that area BY THE SECOND WEEKEND OF DECEMBER and must notify the District chair of their competition after that second tournament. Failure by a school to do so will result in that school being ineligible for the WSFA State Tournaments in March.  Note: dues are due at the same time, Saturday December 9th.



District Two has a specific number of allotted slots in each event for state. There are three possibilities we could face at the end of our final regular season qualifying meet. One is that we have the perfect number qualified, for which we would be sincerely thankful. More likely, however, is that we will have qualified too many or too few for state. In these situations, the District Two State Qualifying Meet will likely be necessary.
