Forensics Colleagues and Friends,
We would like to invite you to the annual Oklahoma Forensics Association State Tournament to be held February 25th & 26th, 2021 virtually. The tournament offers IPDA debate synchronously (via Yaatly) on Saturday the 26th and IE’s asynchronously to be judged by Friday. The tournament will also offer an experimental event of Impromptu Haiku Poetry. See the invitation for event details. IPDA debate will offer four preliminary rounds breaking to semifinals on Saturday night. All divisions for competition will be open. This tournament is open to any college and university.
The tournament directors reserve the right to limit the number of entries from a school, and/or balance rounds with students from the same school in order to accommodate judging obligations from schools with large entries. All IE events with eight or less entries will be auto-finaled.
Please submit entries on Speechwire.com. The entry, video submission, and drop deadline is 5 PM CST on February 22nd, 2021. Limited Prep prompts will be released the evening of Sunday, February 20th.

Rules for all events *No speech or program used by the contestant in competition shall have been used prior to August 1st preceding the tournament. *Speeches must be the original work of the student. *AFA-NIET rules shall be followed for all individual events. *Debate events shall follow the rules of the appropriate national association. Debaters are expected to be in the virtual competition rooms at the end of prep time, and a late forfeiture rule will be enforced. *The top two Oklahoma students in persuasive speaking will become the Oklahoma National Qualifiers for the Interstate Oratory Association (IOA) National Tournament. Rules for IOA require persuasive speaking manuscripts be submitted to the tournament director prior to competition (February 22nd at 5 p.m.) for review. IOA lists the following rules for competition:
1. The oration must be delivered without the aid of notes or manuscript.
Impromptu Haiku Poetry Students will receive two prompts from which to choose and will have a total time of three minutes to compose and perform their haiku. Creativity and humor are encouraged. This event is for fun so students should not feel compelled to topple the patriarchy, undo systematic racism, or be a voice for the voiceless in 17 syllables. An original introduction may be included to provide context.
A haiku is traditionally a Japanese poem consisting of three short lines that do not rhyme. The three lines should consist of 5 syllables, 7 syllables, and 5 syllables, respectively.
Judging Please make every effort to cover your judging requirements. Please know that OFA will provide a limited amount of hired judges (if needed) for the tournament. Many of these judges will have limited forensics experience but will have undergone a limited training to ensure quality judges.
Tabbing All rules for sweepstakes and tab will follow the Oklahoma Forensics Association (OFA) Constitution and By-Laws.
