Talk:World Individual Debating and Public Speaking Championships

This is the highest level tournament, a higher level does not exist in the high school league. It's not a tournament run from a school but an international organization, one whose level is not matched on a world scale and thus, is the highest level tournament available for a high school student to participate in. This is not a matter of pride or something, it's fact. Just as the Olympics are the highest level for sport, this tournament is the highest level in its regard, as is recognized. If you would like to change that, please inform me of a rivaling tournament for this level and I would be happy to change it.
