Greetings Forensicators!
The University of Wisconsin-Whitewater Forensics team is pleased to invite you to the 2011 Edna Sorber Invitational Tournament on Sunday, November 13th, 2011, at UW-W's new Hyland Hall. This longtime tournament honors the past efforts of Dr. Edna Sorber, the former forensics director at Whitewater who brought the 1967 Pi Kappa Delta National Convention to the Whitewater campus. Our tournament is the second half of the Great Wisconsin Swing, following Saturday's Badger Memorial Invitational at nearby UW-Madison.
The standard eleven events will be offered this year. Awards will be given to the top three schools and the top six competitors in each category.
Entries are due by Tuesday, November 8th by 5:00 pm Central. Please register online using www.speechwire.com and follow the link included: http://www.speechwire.com/p-calendar.php
If you have any questions or difficulty with the software, don't hesitate to email DisrudeJL10@uww.edu.
We look forward to seeing you in November!

Please pick either Turkey, Roast Beef, or Veggie. No orders can be accepted after the deadline and there will not be extra lunches available for purchase at the tournament.
There is one small restaurant open at the nearby University Center. However, the weekend staffing is very slim so we expect a lot of delays if dozens of students go there at once.
There are no other restaurants within a brief walking distance, however, several fast food options are within a short driving distance of about one mile (McDonalds, Qdoba, Pizza Hut, Rocky's, Culvers, Taco Bell, and Subway).

Students will not be able to enter more than three events in one flight. There are no limits on the number on entries a team can enter into any event.
