Updated Invitation

You are cordially invited to the 2025 George Bush High School TFA Qualifying Invitational Fully Virtual Tournament – Thursday, November 6, 2025 (previously November 13th)

We are excited to welcome you to our fully virtual TFA qualifying tournament, hosted on NSDA Campus. We will offer all TFA-qualifying individual events and Congressional Debate, provided entries meet the minimum requirements for state points. In the weeks leading up to the tournament, we will reach out if any events require additional entries to qualify.

⭐ Entries and Rounds

All individual events will include three rounds:

• Events with fewer than 24 entries may be scheduled for two preliminary rounds and a final round.

• Events with more than 24 entries will include one preliminary round, semifinals, and finals.

The tournament will follow all rules and regulations outlined in the TFA Constitution.

Cross-Entry Policy:

• ❌ No cross-entry is allowed between Congressional Debate and Individual Events (IEs).

• ✅ Cross-entry is allowed between Section A and Section B events.

⚖️ Judging Requirements

We value your judges more than your fees — please plan to provide one adult judge for every eight entries.
Volunteer judges are also welcome and may register using our Volunteer Judge Form.

Payment may be made by check or online via the RevTrack system.
The schedule and Congressional Debate topics will be posted on the tournament landing page.

⚠️ Supervision Policy
