The Tournament of Champions is committed to expanding opportunities for international students to participate in the TOC and its network of qualifying events.
In 2026 international students may apply for at-large bid consideration in World Schools Debate, the silver division of Public Forum Debate (online), and speech events if they have demonstrated competitiveness at two or more qualifying events.
