The Bronx Science Speech & Debate Team has expressed their enthusiasm and commitment to making this year’s tournament an unparalleled success.

“We look forward to once again hosting hundreds of student competitors from around the country!” they exclaimed. However, the team is keenly aware that the key to achieving this lies in the support of their alumni network.

“It is imperative that we have alumni come back to judge competition events,” they emphasized. The call to action extends an invitation to alumni to participate as judges, whether for a single day or the duration of the tournament. Their involvement is crucial in maintaining the high standards and fair competition that the Big Bronx Invitational is known for.
