Yale Invitational 2026: World Schools

The 34th Yale Invitational runs its World Schools division online this year on Tabroom and NSDA Campus: five preliminary rounds under NSDA rules and a break to octafinals. Prepared motions are released on Tabroom about two weeks before the tournament; impromptu motions come out one hour before each round. Open to school teams, clubs and independent entries, so our composite teams qualify.

Rounds run on US Eastern time, starting Friday afternoon on 2 October and finishing on Sunday 4 October. Yale asks for one judge per two teams, which we supply, and a judge is obligated through the elimination rounds. Sign-ups through us close on Sunday 20 September so we can enter teams and judges before Yale's own deadline of 25 September; judge names and the fee freeze follow on the 28th.
