Colleagues, Competitors, Judges, and friends;

We invite you to the return of one of the most anticipated tournaments in the Midwest, Border Wars. Originally created by Gary Harmon at Kansas Wesleyan University, the tournament had a tradition of providing amazing competition, outstanding community, good food, and long-lasting memories. This tournament is making a comeback in all its glory at Tulsa Community College on the beautiful Southeast Campus. John Mikolajcik, former KWU debater, is proud to carry on the legacy of Border Wars with Co-host Sterling College and their Director Ken Troyer who was influential in running tab for many years at the Original Border Wars tournaments. This tournament will be convened October 25-27, 2024

In the tradition of great competition and community, we are going to offer 3 debate tournaments and two individual events tournaments that your team can come and compete in. We will offer a Friday IPDA tournament, a Saturday Team IPDA tournament, and a Sunday IPDA tournament. We will also offer two Individual event tournaments one on Saturday and one on Sunday. We hope that you are ready for a lot of competition, a lot of awards to be given out, and a lot of great company.

One lasting memory that Gary Harmon instilled as a coach and mentor is that people should be treated well at a tournament. To ensure that you have the best experience that you can at Border Wars, there will be an immense amount of hospitality for you and your teams. As part of attendance, there will be constant grab and go snacks, lunch, and dinner provided for competitors, coaches, judges, and spectators. As part of your registration, we just ask that you note any dietary restrictions so we can make sure that we have food for everyone at the event. We will also have pumpkins for each team to carve as we will be competing near Halloween.

We hope that you are excited for the return of Border Wars as an annual mark on your Forensics and Debate Calendar.

Thank you,

John Mikolajcik

Director of Forensics at Tulsa Community College

And

Ken Troyer

Director of Forensics at Sterling College
