Dear Director of Forensics:
The University of Texas speech & debate programs invite you and your students to attend the 15th Annual Longhorn Classic Tournament to be held on the campus of the University of Texas at Austin on December 2 & 3, 2011.
In keeping with our commitment to a well-rounded forensics education, we will offer students the opportunity to compete in a variety of events, including both Championship and Novice cross-examination debate, Championship and JV Lincoln-Douglas debate, Public Forum Debate, Duo Interpretation, and all TFA individual events, plus impromptu, poetry and prose, as well as the Longhorn Student Congress. The Longhorn Classic is a TOC qualifier in Extemporaneous Speaking, LD, CX, and Congress, as well as a qualifier for the IE TOC in all relevant categories.
There will be six preliminary rounds in CCX, five in CLD and Public Forum, and four in NCX and JVLD. Individual events will feature four flighted patterns and two preliminary rounds, followed by extended semi-finals (up to but not necessarily 32 students advancing) and finals. Due to logistical constraints and the massive size of the Longhorn Classic, we can allow no cross-over between individual events and the various debate categories.
Also, we are delighted to be using www.joyoftournaments.com as our registration mechanism again this year. Please submit your entries directly through that website.
