Tournament of Champions

TOC

General Definition

The Tournament of Champions is hosted in late April by the University of Kentucky. To qualify, teams must earn two "gold bids," which are given out at qualifying tournaments to competitors who make it to a certain round.

In Public Forum, there is both a Gold TOC and a Silver TOC. The Gold TOC is the more prestigious version. Both levels still require qualifying. To qualify to Gold TOC two Gold bids are required. To qualify to the Silver TOC two silver bids or one gold bid is necessary.
