Abstract	We introduce the USAYPT--the United States Association for Young Physicists Tournaments, Inc. Our motto is "Better teaching and learning by doing research in your high school." We believe that all high school teachers can improve their knowledge of physics by forming small groups that perform non-trivial--but not cutting edge--research. In order to drive that process, the USAYPT sponsors a yearly tournament at which student teams hold debates over the results of their teacher-guided research into four nontrivial physics problems. (As Provided).
