University of Houston College Debate Tournament

2025 — Houston, TX/US

Full Invite coming soon.


IMPORTANT CHANGES:

  • We will not be using the UH campus hotel, instead we will be using the Houston Marriott South at Hobby Airport. We have secured a rate of $104/night. This is 15 minutes way from campus with Traffic, if there is sufficient demand we will be looking to add shuttle buses to and from campus for Saturday and Sunday, and we plan to host all Monday rounds at the Hotel.
  • Fees have increased slightly due to food costs.
  • We may be shifting the location of rounds on campus from the Roy Cullen building to the Melcher building to account for construction on campus.
