Bruce Rogers President’s Cup

The GFCA will recognize a school annually at the Varsity Speech & Debate State Championship with the Bruce Rogers President’s Cup. The Bruce Rogers President’s Cup is awarded for a one-year possession to the member school participating in the present tournament whose total number of rounds is highest at the conclusion of the tournament. 

The total number of rounds for all student entries accumulate from year to year.

The winning school each year will be set back to zero and the records for other schools carried forward to the next year. 

A tie will be broken in favor of the school whose students were in the largest number of rounds in the present tournament. 

A member school can only win the Bruce Rogers President’s Cup every five years
