Dear Colleagues,
On behalf of the Louisiana State University—Shreveport Debate Team, I would like to extend an invitation to the 50th annual “Red River Classic” hosted on our campus in Shreveport, LA! This year our tournament will be hosted November 7th—9th .
The tournament will feature both TIPDA and IPDA (Novice, Junior Varsity, Varsity, and Professional). We will offer four preliminary rounds for TIPDA competitors and seven preliminary rounds for all IPDA divisions. Lunch will be provided on Saturday, with a designated lunch break on the schedule. As always, we ask that you bring judges to cover all entries. We would rather have your judges than your money!
All entries must be received by Tuesday, November 4th, 2025, at 5:00 P.M. CST via ForensicsTournament.net. Changes will be accepted via FTN without charge until Wednesday, November 5th, 2025, at 12:00 P.M. CST. Late fees will be charged for any changes after noon on the 5th.
Details of this tournament may be different from years past so I encourage you to read through the information on this document and reach out with any questions or concerns.
Best,
Lindsay Duede
Director of Debate
Louisiana State University—Shreveport
