Hello!

We hope you can join us for the final VFLs of the 2016-17 school year. Dear Forensics Colleagues:

You are cordially invited to participate in the 1st and 2nd Valley Forensic League Tournaments of 2016-2017, to be held Friday, February 24 and Saturday, February 25, 2017 in Brookings, SD at South Dakota State University. Competition is being offered in all 11 AFA individual events for each part of the swing and Parliamentary Debate competition will be held over two days. Lunch will be provided for you and your teams each day.

The entry deadline is Tuesday, February 21, 2017 at 12:00 p.m.  A nuisance fee of $10.00 will be assessed to changes made after 12:00 p.m. on February 22. 

The VFL will recognize the finalists in each event, the top novice competitor in each event, and the top 3 teams. 

• Membership in the VFL is $100 for this year. This fee covers all entry fees (but not uncovered judging fees) for the season and meals. One judge covers six individual events slots or a portion thereof. Schools are asked to try to cover all slots to cut down on hired judging costs.

• All judges are expected to assist in judging final rounds.

• Each uncovered individual event slot will incur a $12 fee. 

• A $20.00 fee will be charged for each slot changed at registration. 

We hope that you and your team will attend. If you have any questions, concerns, or need accommodations, please feel free to contact any member of the Executive Committee.
