Tournament of Champions has been held on the campus of the University of Kentucky and at other locations in Lexington, Kentucky near the campus. Currently, preliminary rounds of Lincoln-Douglas, Policy, Public Forum, and Congress are held directly at the University of Kentucky. However, after the competition on Saturday and Sunday, the tournament moves to a central location to conduct its annual "Breakfast of Champions" ceremony as well as the elimination rounds.

Other awards Julia Burke award The Julia Burke Award is presented each year, in memory of Julia Burke, a debater at The College Preparatory School who was killed in a car crash in 1998. The purpose of this award is to recognize a "policy debater who achieves competitive excellence in high school policy debate on the national circuit, and who demonstrates goodness of heart despite the pressures of competition at the highest level." The award is accompanied by a $1000 scholarship and $1000 to donate to a charity of the recipient's choice. Nominations can be submitted by any debater attending Tournament of Champions.

The winner is chosen by a vote of all the attendees and coaches at Tournament of Champions.
