All Saints Episcopal School in Lubbock, TX, cordially invites you to the 2nd Annual All Saints Way Open! We are so excited to host our second rendition of what is now truly an "annual." As such, we plan to make this one of the most comfortable and quick tournaments in West Texas.

Below you will find more details!

Visit the "Concessions" tab to pre-purchase meal tickets for the food stand! We are going to have brisket tacos for lunch and a continental option for breakfast. Meals are $8 and must be purchased with tickets. The concession stand will still be taking cash for other items though.All proceeds go to supporting our kitchen program which is trying to expand!

Though we are using a lot of hires and volunteers, we ask that each school provides one judge that we can call upon. We are not going to charge judging fees for not having more than 1, but failure to provide a judge will result in the removal of your entries from the tournament. Each judge should be available at least one round past their last entry standing.

We will make our best attempt to panel semi-finals and final rounds. We do not plan to do so for quarters of any events and possibly finals of non-qualifier events such as prose and poetry.

Extemp:

Both FX and DX will be ran in separate patters. Feel free to enter students in both!
