Dear colleagues,

The McMillen High School Speech & Debate team cordially invites you to the 2nd Annual McMillen Lions Den TFA NIETOC Congress IE Tournament on Saturday, February 11, 2023.

In addition to being a TFA state qualifying tournament, we are pleased to offer a NIETOC bid this year!

Congress and all qualifying TFA IE events plus Prose, Poetry, and Impromptu Speaking will be offered. All Congressional debaters are eligible to cross-enter into Pattern B events (Extemp, DI, Poetry, Duo, OO). For IEs with 24 or more entries, there will be 2 prelims, a semi, and a final. For IEs with fewer than 24 entries, there will be 3 prelims and a final.

We will provide a catered hospitality room for judges and coaches with breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, and drinks. A well-stocked concession stand will be available for students to purchase snacks and meals courtesy of our invaluable Plano Eastside Boosters.

Debate Events:

JESUIT DALLAS INVITATIONAL will host Congress on Friday and all other debate events on Friday and Saturday this same weekend.

We look forward to hosting you.

Sincerely,

McMillen High School Speech & Debate
