Dear Colleague,

    The Millard West High School National Forensic League chapter would like 
to
cordially invite you and your students to attend the 5th annual ^ÑMillard
West Wildcat Invite^Ò at MILLARD WEST HIGH SCHOOL on Febuarary 16th-17th.  We
are looking forward to another extremely successful tournament and promise
to provide you with a hospitable and professional setting. 

    Of course, we will have both Varsity & Novice Policy and Lincoln-Douglas
debate.  The past four years have offered oustanding competition from around
the Midwest.  We are hoping to continue this tradition with a stronger field
in both events this year.  We expect to have competitors from 4 or more
states this year.  L/D people, please note the speech times for VARSITY
Lincoln-Douglas.  
    
THE UNIVERSITY OF KENTUCKY TOURNAMENT OF CHAMPIONS HAS DESIGNATED THE MW
WILDCAT INVITE AS A TOC QUALIFIER IN FINALS IN LD.

    This year we will be hosting a Congressional Debate competition on 
Saturday
afternoon.  Millard West has enjoyed the hospitality of several other school
competitions this year and we are glad to return the favor.  Congress is a
great activity for both novice and varsity debaters to participate in.

    We once again thank you for considering this invitation.  We hope to
continue offering strong competition at the Millard West Wildcat Invite. 
Please check tournament information included to avoid confusion.  If you
have any questions please call 402-894-6036 or fax at 402-894-6060.  The
fastest way to get ahold of us is to email at millardwestdebate@excite.com.

divisions except varsity L/D, which needs to provide one judge per 3

available for hire through the tournament at $125.00 per debate judge. If
you wish to hire a judge through the tournament it will be necessary to know
this by Februrary 9th.  After that date we can accept only entries for which
you can cover the judging commitment.  If you choose not to bring judges,
the sponsor will be obligated for judging.

first serve basis, so please call or fax us that information A.S.A.P.  We
will keep students from respective schools together, but not all requests
for certain house-outs will be honored because of the limited number of
