Dear Coaches and Debaters,

The Debate Society of Berkeley invites you to attend the Seventh Annual Cal Parli Invitational, which will be held virtually on October 7-8, 2023.

We will be offering five preliminary rounds in both divisions. We plan to break to Octofinals in the Open division and Semifinals in Novice, subject to adjustment based on the final field size.

We are excited to welcome competitors from across the United States. If you are an international team interested in competing, please contact berkeleydebsoc@gmail.com.

We encourage you to contact us with any other questions regarding the tournament. We anticipate a fun, competitive, and educational tournament and hope to see you there!
