Dear Forensics Community,

We are excited to welcome you to our 2023 Willow Invitational Tournament. This tournament is a great way to prepare your students for Nationals & afford extra rounds to students on your team. A condensed three preliminary and one final round schedule ensures students get the practice they need without the hassle of waiting around all day for rounds. Save money with $0 travel costs. 

The tournament will offer competition at all levels, from kindergarten to college. We have the very best qualified tournament staff assembled to ensure a smooth day of fun competition.  Our schedule will include three prelims and a final (using Bronze/Silver/Gold award system) with each competition level taking only half the day (see schedule below). Winners will receive bronze/silver/gold medals.

Schedule

(all times PST)

***NOTE: All rounds for all age groups will be held at the same time

• Students may double-enter in IE events, with the exception of Extemp (single-entry only for Extemp)
• Students may only single-enter in Debate events
• In the event of small entry sizes, we may need to collapse events within their event category (so limited prep events collapse to an “limited prep” event).
