Dear Colleagues, The Tarheel Forensic League would like to invite all member schools to the 2017 TFL State Championship to be held April 1-2 at South View High School in Hope Mills, NC. Events at this year’s tournament will be: Varsity and JV Lincoln-Douglas, Varsity and JV Public Forum Debate, Varsity and JV Congressional Debate, Original Oratory, Extemporaneous Speaking, Dramatic Interpretation, Humorous Interpretation, Duo-Interpretation, Program Oral Interpretation, Impromptu Speaking, Informative Speaking, and Declamation (9th and 10th grades only). Students may double enter between most speech events. We will not be able to allow double entry between debate events and speech events. Please note that we will be using the MARCH/APRIL Lincoln-Douglas topic and the MARCH Public Forum topic (NOT April). Please also note that we are offereing the new NSDA event of Program Oral Interpretation this year, not the traditional Oral Interpretation. Please be sure to review all pages on our registration website. A basic overview of requirements, fees and judge quotas can be found here. Most of the other information you need can be found in the TFL Tournament Manual, which will govern our tournament. You can access the manual at this link or from the downloads page of this website. Please review it carefully. All new changes for this year will be highlighted in yellow throughout the manual. We will post announcements and updates on this website, so be sure to check back regularly. We recommend registering as early as possible. As we get closer to the tournament date, it is very likely that we will begin exceeding the room capacity and we will have to apply entry limits or close cetain events altogether. Also, be sure to note the new drop deadlines and penalties for this year, allowing for a more generous drop policy. Please see the List of Entry Requirements page for details. PLEASE NOTE OUR IMPORTANT SUPERVISION RULE (taken from page 3 of the TFL Tournament Manual): At minimum, the Head Coach of Record must be present with his or her school for the entire duration of the tournament. If anyone other than the official head coach will be supervising the team, the school must present the TFL Executive Committee a letter to that effect signed by both the head coach and school principal. If any team is found at any time without the coach of record or officially approved adult chaperone on campus during tournament hours, the entire school will be disqualified from the tournament and a letter will be written to the school principal. All teams must be supervised at all times while they are on the host campus. Our hotel choices are listed on the hotels page (COMING SOON). We have negotiated excellent rates at properties that are close to the South View campus. If at any time you have questions regarding this tournament or if there is anything we can help you with, please do not hesitate to contact TFL Chair Keith Pittman (keith.pittman@asheville.k12.nc.us) at your earliest convenience.
Sincerely, Shannon Jarman (Cumberland International), TFL Vice Chair Scott Bennett (Northwest Guilford), TFL Secretary Chris Harrow (Ardrey Kell), TFL Committee Member Mary Morales (Charlotte Catholic), TFL Committee Member Jonathan Peele (Charlotte Latin), TFL Committee Member Robert Wieckowski (Myers Park), TFL Committee Member Shellie Kingaby-Hyser (Central Cabarrus), Alternate John Walker (Albertus Magnus), Alternate and Webmaster Jeff Welty (Durham Academy), Alternate
