The Eastern Pennsylvania Conference Tournament, currently also referred to as the Warrior Science Invitational, is a closed Division C tournament hosted by East Stroudsburg University in East Stroudsburg, PA. The tournament is contested between the 18 members of the Eastern Pennsylvania Conference, a scholastic athletic conference in the Lehigh Valley and Southern Poconos.

The tournament was hosted at Northampton Community College in Bethlehem, PA from its inception until 2020.

History

Local tournaments have been hosted at Northampton Community College since 1999. At the time, the tournament hosted teams from two neighboring athletic conferences: the Lehigh Valley Conference (LVC), which consisted of schools from the Allentown area, and the Mountain Valley Conference (MVC), which consisted of schools from the lower Poconos. Each tournament would crown three medalists from each conference for each event, and a team champion for each conference, and then an overall champion for the entire tournament.

Starting in the 2014-2015 season, the LVC and MVC combined in all sports to form the Eastern Pennsylvania Conference, a larger 18-team league. The tournament still runs as before, but instead simply crowns four medalists for every event and one single champion.

Historically, the tournament has only run for the morning, to ensure that students can return to their schools early enough to have transportation home. This means that only 10 events are usually run, which generally consist of 3 build events and 7 lab/study events.

Due to the Coronavirus pandemic, the 2021 competition was held virtually as the Warrior Invitational

Lehighton Area High School is not currently a member of the EPC, but is instead a member of the neighboring Schuylkill League. However, as a former member of the MVC, and since the Schuylkill League does not host their own tournament, Lehighton is still invited to compete at the EPC Tournament.
