We are proud to continue the tradition of offering an opportunity for competition in the Rocky Mountain region.  Since 1981 we have been happy to host a tournament for this region and have continued to add events and develop the tournament schedule to best meet the needs of the forensics community. We look forward to your visit each year and to the outstanding competition that your squads provide, so we hope that you will be able to once again join us here in Casper, Wyoming.

We will offer six (6) preliminary rounds followed by appropriate elimination rounds in NPDA debate in novice, junior and open divisions (if entries allow), four (4) preliminary rounds followed by appropriate elimination rounds in NFA-LD and IPDA (open only).   To provide opportunity for a maximum competition experience for all students we will be offering three preliminary rounds** and finals in all eleven (11) NIET events, arranged in two conflict patterns. **In events that are especially large we will run two preliminary rounds, semis and finals.

For the 2016-2017 season, we will be adding a second tournament to our weekend.  The Pioneer Trails (Alumni Invitational) will be a one-day IE tournament hosted by our Talking T-Birds Alumni.  We will offer two rounds of all 11 NIET events with subsequent outrounds.

We hope to see you in Casper in February!

Sincerely,

Doug Hall
