Illini Global Forensics at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign cordially invites you to take part in our 1st annual Illini Forensics Invitational on Saturday February 20th, and to the Illini Forensics Alumni Invitational, hosted by UIUC alumnus Sean O’Reilly, on Sunday February 21st. 

We will be offering a synchronous IE tournament via Zoom on Saturday and an asynchronous IE tournament on Sunday. We will also be offering a synchronous NPDA-Parliamentary Debate tournament via Tabroom’s NSDA Campus platform on Sunday.

Despite the move to an online competitive format, we are committed to providing you with a professional atmosphere and a spirited competitive experience. As such, EVERY participant and judge competing synchronously MUST have a device with a webcam, microphone or headset, and a Zoom account for speech or Tabroom.com account for debate linked to their email.

If you have any questions, feel free to send us an email. We hope to virtually see you there!
