The 2025 NIETOC Holiday Havoc Invitational

Welcome to the 2025 Holiday Havoc Invitational presented by Columbia High School, Nampa. We are excited and honored to host you on our campus on December 5-6th. On Friday we will offer World School’s Debate, Public Forum, and Lincoln Douglas with 4 prelims then out rounds. Congress will also take place Friday with 2 sessions and a super congress. On Saturday, we will offer novice and varsity divisions for all 14 IHSAA events awarding the top 3 speakers and the top novice in each event. We will run 3 rounds of Pattern A events and 3 rounds of Pattern B events then a final round for both patterns. Students will be able to double-enter in both patterns. However, students cannot double enter in 2 draw events in the same pattern. Meaning students can enter in up to 4 speech events.

The Coaches Ugly Sweater contest will be back this year with special prizes for our best at being the worst! This year we will have divisions for both assistant and head coaches. It is recommended that you enter this tournament early to reserve your space.

The website will close early if we reach the maximum space allotted to this tournament so early entry is recommended.

For the full tournament schedule and patterns for the speech events please view the tournament invite.
