10th Annual Kerr WSD, Congress & IE TFA NIETOC Extravaganza

TFA & NIETOC Qualifier

Welcome!

We are pleased to invite you, once again, to the 10th Annual Kerr WSD, Congress, & IE Extravaganza on February 3, 2024. We are extremely proud to announce after nine successful years of running a timely and efficient tournament, that we will once again, not only be a Texas Forensic Association (TFA) qualifying competition, but also one of the few and last National Individual Event Tournament of Champions (NIETOC) Bid tournaments in our region. We will decide by this weekend if we host WSD. If we choose to host WSD their will be no cross entry for WSD debaters. See Topics page about how to contact us about your WSD interest. As always, our goal is to have quality numbers in all events.

We are dedicated to making this a unique and awarding experience for all participating schools.

We know that time and points are important to your programs at this time, so we have designed a tight, but efficient schedule that will maximize both. Although limited in space, we are flush with quality staff, judges, and community support to make this tournament run efficiently and on time, just like the last three years. We have previously been a NIETOC bid in Semis in DI, DUO, and OO, so we recommend that you register now before spots fill up. We are more than open to any and all suggestions and appreciate your input, both before, during, and after this event. In support of all NSDA / TFA Qualifying IE events, including Program of Oral Interpretation (POI) and Informative (INF), we will be sponsoring those events once again and hope to combine NDI&NHI to offer Novice Individual Acting (NIA) if numbers allow for it.

Kerr students will be able to compete and are eligible to advance.

I appreciate all those who have been asking to open up our tournament and it is our New Year gift to you to finally open up for registration. Because our NIETOC bid status and limited size, there will be caps to overall numbers, so please register at your earliest convenience to assure your spot in our unique 1-day WSD, Congress, & IE tournament.

Congress Legislation: Prelims = 1-5 / Finals = 6-10 (Semis = 11-15 if Needed)

Thanks -- We look forward to having you!
