You are cordially invited to join us for the inaugural Talking Like Cats and Dogs Swing, to be held January 10^th-13^th, 2023 asynchronously and in-person January 14^th, 2023 through speechwire.com. This is our first time hosting together and we hope schools looking for an excellent day of competition will join us this New Year! Both current and alumni members of the Concordia University, Nebraska and the Wayne State College Forensics Teams look forward to hosting you in this virtual setting.

During the week we plan to offer three rounds of AFA individual events with no elimination rounds. All three guaranteed rounds will be tabulated and the top 6 speakers in each individual event will receive recognition.  Limited prep participants will be required to provide one video, addressing one different set of prompts.

On Saturday the 14^th in Seward, NE, we will offer 2 prelim rounds and one final of the 11 AFA individual events as well as 3 prelims and out-rounds as necessary of Parliamentary Debate on Sunday the 15th in Seward, NE.

We hope to see you and your squad on January 10-15^th. If there is anything we can do, please do not hesitate to contact us!
