We are excited to invite you to the Ferris Bricktown School UIL Speech and Debate Invitational, to be held at Ferris High School on February 17th, 2024. This tournament is intended for schools or teams that prefer "UIL style" forensics. We will offer four rounds of LD and CX debate and a guaranteed two rounds for Prose, Poetry, Informative and Persuasive. After the two prelim rounds, there will be a final round in those events. Additionally, students in LD and CX can also do Informative or Persuasive.

We will be using tabroom for registration and balloting. Please make sure to notify all judges you bring that they will need a laptop for the tournament.

We will be offering a meal deal for students. They can purchase a Chick-fil-a sandwich, chips and a beverage for $8. This option will be available during registration.
