Greetings Colleagues:

The El Camino forensics coaches and students are pleased to invite you to a free 1-day, novice/junior parli tournament on the campus of El Camino College.  The tournament is open to both two- and four-year schools. 

To get your students the maximum experience at the lowest cost, entry is limited to novice and junior competitors, with open-level competitors eligible to judge.

LOCATION.  The El Camino College address is 16007 Crenshaw Blvd., Torrance, CA 905056, right off the 405 freeway at the Crenshaw exit.  For directions, visit http://www.elcamino.edu/about/directions.asp

The tournament headquarters will be MU 132.  The Music Building faces Redondo Beach Blvd., near the corner of Redondo Beach Blvd. and Crenshaw Blvd. 

PARKING.  Attendees should park in Lots J or K (Closest to the Music and Social Science buildings). These are staff parking lots BUT you are allowed to park there on the weekend for free!

FOOD.  Because it is a free tournament, no food or bottled water will be provided.  There are multiple close locations from which to purchase food.

RULES AND ELIGIBILITY.  Unless noted in this invitation, we will follow PSCFA guidelines.  Wi-Fi and prep rooms will be provided and topic will be centrally announced and flex time will be recognized. A novice is defined as a competitor with no significant high school experience, is in his or her first two semesters of competition, who has not advanced to elimination rounds at more than two tournaments in NPDA.  A junior competitor is one who has not competed for more than four semesters, and who has not advanced to elimination rounds in junior division at more than two tournaments in NPDA.  We adhere to the NPDA policy on gender/sexual harassment.

JUDGING.  Because this is a free tournament, schools MUST provide one judge for every two (or part thereof) debate teams.

AWARDS.  All advancing competitors will receive certificates; top debaters in each division will also receive chachkies (According to Dictionary.com, an inexpensive souvenir, trinket, or ornament).

Entries are due by 6:00pm on Tuesday, October 10, 2023 on http://www.forensicstournament.net  Changes can be made through Wednesday, October 11 at 6:00pm.

We hope to see you all here!
