Members of the Carolina West District,

We want to welcome all of you to the 2021 Carolina West District Tournament series. Our goal is to send our very best students to NSDA Virtual Nationals in June.  This year's district tournament series will be held on three weekends - one for Congress, one for Speech, LD and PF, and one for Policy and Big Questions.

Please carefully review the tournament invitation posted in the "Invite and Packets" section on the right hand side of this page.  Please also review the other useful links down the right column.  This information is very important, as the district tournament functions differently than other tournaments during the season.  You will need to review this information to ensure that your registration is completed properly.

PLEASE NOTE:  For liability reasons, each school must have a faculty member present and fully available for the duration of the tournament, including registration.  In lieu of a faculty member, the principal may designate an approved adult that will be present for the entire tournament and accept full responsibility for the team.  This must be submitted ahead of the tournament in writing on school letterhead by the principal or headmaster. This applies to all three tournaments in the series.  Additionally, we cannot accept independent entries and, per NSDA rules, ONLY the faculty coach of record can register the team online and fill out the hard copy paperwork.  Please adhere to this very important rule.

We look forward to seeing all of you at all three tournaments in this NSDA National Qualifier series!

Most sincerely,

Your Carolina West District Committee:

Keith Pittman (Asheville & SILSA), District Chair

Megan Butt (Providence), Member

Chris Harrow (Ardrey Kell), Member

Patrick Moss (Chase & East Rutherford), Member
