Missouri Association of Forensic Actitivies
Hello Forensic Friends.
It is my pleasure to invite you to the 2021 Missouri Association of Forensic Activities (MAFA) Championship Tournament. This is the Missouri State Tournament, but we also welcome our friends from other states.
- Four rounds of debate in three formats with novice divisions where entries warrant
- A full slate of AFA-NIET individual events
- Dinner Friday, lunch Saturday, and a continental breakfast both days
- Awards for all elimination round competitors in all events
- A full slate of events in a two-day schedule, allowing for a Sunday of either leisurely travel back home, or a day at home without forensics
- Affordable fees
As has become our tradition, the top Missouri student in each event will receive a special award as the State Champion in that event. We will award individual event, debate, and combined sweepstakes for both the overall tournament, as well as entry-based divisions; we will also recognize the top school in quality performance. We also award a top forensicator award to our top students who participate in both individual events and debate. Additionally, the top two Missouri students in oratory will earn a trip to the Interstate Oratorical Contest.
Beyond student and school recognition, we encourage you to nominate individuals for the two awards we present annually to professionals in our activity—Coach of the Year Award and Distinguished Service Award. Information for each of these awards is included in this invitation.
Tournament entries are to be made on Forensictournament.net.
On behalf of MAFA and it’s officers, I hope to see you virtually in February!
Sincerely,
Jordan Compton
President, Missouri Association of Forensic Activities
Assistant Director of Forensics, Webster University
