You are invited to attend the annual Wichita East Forensics Invitational. We are hosting on February 17^th-18^th, 2032.

Entries are due Feb 13^th but you can enter TBAs earlier. Early entry is appreciated to aid with judging estimates. I hope to avoid requiring schools to provide any judging, but I may need to if you enter week of the tournament. If you want to volunteer judging, that would be appreciated, you can enter judging on Tabroom. Entry is accessible on http://weastforensics.tabroom.com.

- Parker Mitchell, Director of Debate and Forensics, Wichita High School East

Fees

Entry fees are $6 for individual events (+LD/CON) and $12 for partner events (Duet, Duo, IDA, PFD)

Friday

Events

- Congress – House, Novice House, Senate – Sunflower legislation. If you are attending from outside of Sunflower and you would like legislation on the docket, please have it emailed to me a week in advance so I can post it. You may compete without legislation if you want. Max 2 Entries in SEN, no limit in HOU/NH. 2 sessions Friday.

- If you have students in congress, a scorer will be required. I hope to minimize the amount of sessions you will have to score. Caveat – I (Mitchell) am fairly inexperienced with the standard congress tabbing procedure used in the region. I would happily take help here.

- LD – Jan/Feb Topic (Borders) – 4 rounds friday

- PFD – Feb Topic (RTW) – 4 rounds friday

- It is highly likely I will need to ask for judge coverage for PFD/LD. (Sorry) We will not collapse to a virtual/hybrid tournament (less sorry) –with low entries, we will still try to put on a tournament, even if students have to debate the same school. Ideally, this will be avoided.
