Dear Forensics Community,

We would like to invite you to the annual Boilermaker Special Speech and Debate Tournament, October 24-25^th, 2014. Held at Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana. This year’s tournament will again feature a 2-day tournament format for parliamentary debate, with IE competition taking place on Saturday only.

We will be offering competition in all 11 AFA events, and NPDA Parliamentary Debate. All events will break to appropriate elimination rounds. IE-only competitors may enter up to four events per flight, while debaters may enter up to two events per flight.

Awards will be presented to: all IE finalists, all break-round debaters, the top-10 debate speakers, the Quadrathon winner, and the top three schools in both team IE sweepstakes, and team debate sweepstakes.

The entry deadline is 5pm on Tuesday, October 22^nd. Please submit entries by emailing purdueforensics@gmail.com. All entries must include an email address and a phone number that we can reach you at in the days immediately prior to the tournament for confirmation.

We are already working to ensure that the Boilermaker provides you a friendly, challenging, healthy, and educational tournament. We hope you enjoy West Lafayette/Lafayette as much as we do and we look forward to seeing you soon! Please let us know if we can be of any assistance in the meantime.
