On behalf of Mt. Hood Community College Forensics Team, I would like to invite you to the 15th annual Mt. Hood Community College Saints Invitational. We are offering a full-service tournament including individual events, Student Congress, and LD-V, Policy (CX), Parliamentary, and Public Forum debate.
We are excited to see a high level of competition right before your district qualifying tournaments.
- Please plan to be checked in by 7:30am (not the typical 8:00am)
- CX, PF, and LD will use current month topics provided by the National Speech and Debate Association. Parli will have a choice of three topics concerning domestic and foreign affairs from the past two months.
- For complete descriptions of each event and rules, please refer to the OSAA speech and debate handbook.
Our tournament will feature the presentation of the Michael Ramon Padilla Top Speaker Award. The recipient of this award will be the student who has earned the most sweepstakes points for his or her team. This award is named after Michael Ramon Padilla who was a colleague of mine from Clark College and Portland State University. Ramon was an exceptional speaker known for his leadership and was one who demonstrated impressive sportsmanship.
