NPDA 5/3 (Open/JV/Nov); IPDA 5/3 (Var/Nov); IE 2/1; Parli and IPDA runs Friday and Saturday; IE Saturday only. Swing with Wildcat Invitational.

Dear Forensics Community:

The forensics teams of Texas Christian University and the University of Kentucky, and the Texas Zeta and Kentucky Nu chapters of Pi Kappa Delta cordially invite you to the inaugural It’s Not 30-Below Swing to be hosted on the beautiful sunny campus of Texas Christian University January 16-18, 2015.

We invite you to join us for a weekend of competition featuring two complete individual event tournaments with the ten NFA events as well as AFA program oral interpretation, and a debate tournament with NPDA, NFA-LD, and IPDA debate formats.  Each individual event tournament (Horned Frog Invitational on Saturday and Wildcat Invitational on Sunday) will include two preliminary rounds and a final (semi-finals if necessary).  NPDA and IPDA will include five preliminary rounds on Friday, and out-rounds as needed on Saturday.  NFA LD will run concurrent with Sunday’s IE tournament, and will include four preliminary rounds and two out-rounds.  Debate events will include novice, JV, and open divisions if warranted by entry sizes of each event.

Students may enter in either NPDA or IPDA on Friday, but not both.  Entry in NFA LD will preclude IE competition on Sunday.  Students may enter three individual events per pattern.  Two duos counts as two events.

We look forward to receiving your entry by the deadline: Tuesday, January 13, 2015.  We can’t wait to welcome you to beautiful Fort Worth in January!
