Colleagues,

Thank you for your interest in the 2025 Chapel Hill/Lindale TFA Winter Swing Extravaganza. In addition to being a qualifier towards TFA State, we are pleased to offer qualification in all relevant events for the National Individual Events Tournament of Champions! We are excited to be a qualifier in all relevant speech events as for the Tournament of Champions held every year at the University of Kentucky. The Lindale portion of the swing also serves as a Top 6 TOC qualifier for Congressional Debate.

We are excited to take on this new adventure back into virtual tournaments and as a swing. We believe that our tournament will provide some great opportunities for your students before the winter holidays! We are excited to offer every TFA speech and debate contest, Prose, Poetry. This will be a true swing with two opportunities for every varsity student in every event.

As we get closer to the tournament, we will update the schedule based on entry numbers.

Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have additional questions or concerns.

We look forward to hosting you!

Sincerely,

Rory McKenzie
