The Southeastern Oklahoma State and Oklahoma City University forensics programs and the Oklahoma Theta and Omicron chapters of Pi Kappa Delta warmly invite you to the Storm Classic Swing Friday—Sunday, September 27-29 to be held on Southeastern’s campus in Durant, Oklahoma, the “campus of a thousand magnolias.” The Swing is open to all intercollegiate competitors. Registration will take place in the Russell Building (The John Massey School of Business). Parking is conveniently located behind the Russell Building on Montgomery St. The tournament will offer Varsity and Junior division NPDA and IPDA Debate in addition to all 11 AFA-NIET. Dinner will be provided on Friday evening. On both Saturday and Sunday lunch, provided by Southeastern’s Magnolia Eatery, will be available.

We welcome you back to Southeastern for the Storm Classic, home of the former national Savage Forensic Debate Tournament which was once held 26 years straight from 1929 to 1955 and after a brief interruption continued into the early 1990s. The Savage Forensic was the oldest and one of the largest attended college debating tournaments in the entire nation. At its height in 1963, the national debate tournament hosted more than 45 schools from Oklahoma, Texas, Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri, and Louisiana. Saturday, Sept. 28^th and Sunday, Sept. 29^th will each hold a self-contained IE and IPDA tournament, with all 11 AFA-NIET. There will be five rounds of IPDA with appropriate elimination rounds and two preliminary rounds and finals of Individual Events. Again, there will be an Open and Junior division offered. No prepared event may have been used in competition prior to this academic year.
