2011 38th Annual Laird Lewis Invitational

Students may quadruple-enter between most speech events. We also will continue to allow double entry between novice debate events and speech events, with the exception of Congressional Debate.

We are pleased to be able to continue to offer Tournament of Champions bids to Octafinalists in Public Forum Debate and Finalist competitors in Congressional Debate.  We also were named a bid tournament to the 2011 National Individual Events Tournament of Champions tournament and the 2011 Extemporaneous Tournament of Champions!  During all elimination rounds, we will be offering Impromptu Duet Acting as a supplemental event for students who do not break.
