Dear Colleagues,

Please accept this as your personal invitation to attend the Plano West TFA and NIETOC Invitational Qualifying Tournament on October 18 - 19, 2024. We are excited to offer you and your students not only outstanding academic competition, but also a pleasant tournament experience. All TFA qualifying events will be offered.

This tournament offers NIETOC bids in all speech events in addition to a Semifinals bid to the Extemp TOC. Students that compete in Domestic Extemp and International Extemp may not compete in both. Students that compete in LD, CX, PF, or World Schools may not cross enter in other events. Students in Congress may not cross enter in Debate but are encouraged to cross enter into all IE events.

The Plano West Wolf Classic will offer 4 preliminary rounds in all debate events. We will break to an appropriate elimination round based on entries and guaranteeing that all 3-1’s will break. Depending on entry numbers, Congress will have prelims and semis on Friday and finals Saturday morning. Brackets will be broken in all debate events.

We do not accept independent entries. A school coach or adult must enter students into the tournament. A school authorized adult must be in attendance and responsible at all times for the duration of the tournament.

We are excited about the schedule of events, level of competition, quality judging, and unique opportunities provided this year. We hope you can participate!

Finally, the Plano West Wolf Classic is pleased to continue to offer the Rhonda Smith Award to the top competitor overall at the tournament. We will also offer a sweepstakes award for 1st-3rd place schools in attendance and 1st-3rd place sweepstakes for top competitors in debate and individual events.
