Welcome to Liberty Hill High School Panther Invitational

UIL Academic and Speech Tournament

February 18, 2023

You and your squad are cordially invited to attend the LH Panther Invitational to be held at Liberty Hill High School on February 18. 2023. This meet will include all UIL Academic events as well as a Full UIL Speech and Debate Tournament. Academic materials will be UIL Set B.

We will be offering four rounds of Debate for LD and CX Debate. And two rounds of speaking events in order to make sure that each student gets the most educational experience possible.

In both extemporaneous speaking and oral interpretation, all speakers will compete in two preliminary rounds providing them with two guaranteed critiques. Speakers with the lowest cumulative ranks in the first two rounds advance to semis (or finals, depending on entry numbers).

UPDATE: DUE TO A LACK OF INTEREST WE WILL NO LONGER BE OFFERING SPEECH OR DEBATE EVENTS.

Students will be allowed to cross-enter in a multitude of different events to maximize the tournament experience for schools and competitors.

We will provide a concession stand for the students and an excellent hospitality room for all coaches, judges and bus drivers.

The deadline to register for the tournament will be Wednesday February 15 at 5:00pm.

Registration for all events is on www.tabroom.com
