Dear Friends and Colleagues:
The University of La Verne and Mt. San Antonio College are pleased to invite you to Southern California for our 1st ever “Voices of The Valley” swing tournament January 17th-18th, 2026. This year’s tournament will be held in La Verne, CA on the beautiful campus of the University of La Verne. ULV and Mt. SAC have partnered up to host this swing and give your teams an excellent January tournament in Southern California.
The two tournaments will offer similar schedules and fees. Both tournaments will have sweeps awards for the top three teams and top community college team. Both days will offer novice and open divisions in individual events and debate. We will also award a top speaker of the swing tournament.
In addition to the individual events, we will host a one-day parliamentary debate tournament on Saturday and a one-day NFA-LD & IPDA debate tournament on Sunday. For both days the Open division will be a standard 4/2 format but in novice we will have a six prelim tournament with Gold/Silver/Bronze awards given to the top teams. NOTE: Students may not enter both debate and IE events on the same day. Students are more than welcome to mix and match on different days. ULV will be the official host on Saturday, and Mt. SAC will be the host on Sunday.
Join us for some great competition and even better memories in the San Gabriel Valley! Our tab and tournament staff are the best of the best, so you can expect a well-run tournament. Let us know how we can help with your travel plans or anything else that will make this a special weekend for your team.
Hope to see you there!
