On behalf of the University of Utah and The University of Texas at El Paso, we invite you to return to the Mountain West for the Great Salt Lake Invitational/UTEP IE Classic at the University of Utah.

This year we will offer a JV policy debate round robin, two complete IE tournaments, and two five round NPDA tournaments.

The tournaments will be held on January 16-18, 2026. See Part IX of the invitation for schedule details.

This year’s schedule has been revised to maximize forensics participation across the curriculum of events and styles.

We look forward to seeing you in January and wish everyone the best of luck and safety in the upcoming competitive season.

The debate tournaments will be run on Tabroom http://gsl.tabroom.com/ The IE swing will be run on Forensics Tournament.
