Welcome to the PLU/Puyallup TOH Karl High School Speech and Debate Invitational!

We are thrilled that you will be joining us on the PLU campus in Tacoma, Wa January 31st and February 1st.  Please note these VERY IMPORTANT changes/information for this tournament.

1. Tournament and all monies will be at and go through PLU

2. Public Forum debate will be running the February Topic

3. Open Public Forum will post at 3:15 and BEGIN at 3:30 on Friday and will have 4 round on Friday.  Open PF judges have a separate pool of judges to accompany their schedule.

 4. Open congress is absolutely an event! Sorry for not putting on the initial schedule. We will start on Friday and run two preliminary sessions, with super session on Saturday during debate rounds.

5. Pretty please make sure that all judges have their own Tabroom account, a device to access it at the tournament, and are prepared to post all ballots through Tabroom during the tournament.

Finally, we are thrilled that the TOH Karl was chosen as a TOC GOLD bid in the finals for Open Public Forum and a NIETOC bid for all NIETOC events.  

We look forward to seeing you soon -
