The official website of the Tri County Forensic League

TCFL is an affiliate of the California High School Speech Association in San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara and Ventura Counties, and Los Angeles County outside of CBSR, WBFL, and SCDL.

The Tri-County Forensics League (TCFL) sponsors several tournaments each competitive season, divided by category (Speech, Debate and Congressional Debate). These competitions are broken into multiple cycles in the season: Fall, Winter and Spring. The State Qualifying Tournaments occur in late February to mid-March. These events serve to qualify students to the California Championships in April or May. Students must compete in at least one league competition at the “Open” level to be eligible to compete at these Qualifying Tournaments. All league tournaments follow the rules set forth by the state organization, CHSSA (California High School Speech Association). 

To be eligible to attend TCFL tournaments, your school must join the league.
