On Saturday, February 10, 2024, the CTMSDL held its last regular tournament of the season at Timothy Edwards Middle School in South Windsor. Despite morning traffic and an afternoon software crash, 260 debaters from 16 schools combined into 52 Novice teams and 42 Open Division teams to debate the motion: This House, as a Middle Schooler, would choose not to use social media.
