20 schools attended the WFA-WSCA forensics tournament, hosted by the University of Nevada-Reno. Phil Sharp and the Department of Communication provided great hospitality and we appreciate their generosity in opening up their campus to us to host the tournament. The tab room staff of Jeannie Hunt (Northwest College) –Tournament Director and Debate Tab, Duane Fish (Northwest College)-Individual Events Tab, Jackson Miller (Linfield College)-Worlds Style Debate Tab, and Fred Ebert (Northwest College)-Ballot Table helped the tournament to run smoothly.

Thanks to the dedication and enthusiasm of Jackson Miller, we were able to have two students from Kardan University in Kabul, Afghanistan, participate in Worlds Style debate via Skype.
