<p>Region IV Coaches,</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I am excited to invite you to the Region IV Tournament, held this year on March 23-24, 2018. The tournament will take place on the campus of Moraine Valley Community College in Palos Hills, IL.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>PLEASE READ THE INVITATION CAREFULLY!</p>
<p>THERE ARE SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS RE: RESERVING IN THE ROOM BLOCK.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Registration will occur via <a href=\"http://www.forensicstournament.net/RegionIV/17\">ForensicsTournament.net</a></p>
<p> </p>
<p>In the past, we will help students prepare for Saturday morning competition in the hotel. Unfortunately, there will be no competition in a hotel this year as there is not enough time for me to find a competitively priced hotel to hold our Saturday rounds. Therefore, the entire tournament will take place on Moraine’s campus.</p>
<p> </p>
