Cedar Ridge Raider TFA IQT - November 2nd, 2024

Hosted at Cedar Ridge High School

2801 Gattis School Rd, Round Rock, TX 78664

You are cordially invited to join us at the 2024 Cedar Ridge Raider TFA Qualifying Invitational Tournament. We will be offering all TFA qualifying events as long as they meet minimum entry requirements. We will communicate leading up to the week of the tournament regarding those events that need help with entries. In addition, we will be following all TFA rules and regulations laid out in the TFA Constitution. There MUST be a school employee with students attending at all times throughout the day or the school risks being disqualified in all events.

Cedar Ridge students will be participating in the Home Initiative. Additionally, we will panel elimination rounds of debate starting in semi-finals but a good faith attempt will be made to provide them in quarters. All elimination rounds will have three judges in Individual Events. We will use high-low for power matching the third round of debate. We will NOT break brackets in debate events. Novice CX debate will be required to use the NDCA Novice Packet.
