The Florida Blue Key Round Robin is one of the signature traditions of the Florida Blue Key Speech and Debate Tournament. As an invitation-only event, it brings together many of the nation’s top competitors for a showcase of excellence at the highest level of high school speech and debate. An invitation to compete is a recognition of sustained achievement and competitive distinction, making the Round Robin one of the tournament’s most respected honors.

What makes the FBK Round Robin especially meaningful is its tradition. For years, it has served as a defining part of the tournament’s identity and legacy at the University of Florida. The event reflects the longstanding commitment of Florida Blue Key to excellence, leadership, and academic competition, while creating a memorable experience for competitors, judges, and spectators alike. More than simply a showcase round, it is a proud tradition that continues to highlight the very best of the community.

The 2026 Round Robin will take place on Thursday, October 29. Further information, including our Keynote Speaker and the invite process, will be made available soon!
