Lake Travis Cavalier Classic TFA IQT - January 25th, 2025

Hosted at Lake Travis High School

3324 Ranch Rd 620 S, Austin, TX 78738

You are cordially invited to join us at the 2025 Lake Travis Cavalier Classic 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.

Lake Travis 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.
