Welcome to the California Async Fall Speech Scrimmage! We hope to help middle and high school students from any state, including California, get feedback and grow as speakers throughout this year's competition season.

EVENTS:

We offer Declamation, Dramatic Interpretation, Duo Interpretation, Humorous Interpretation, Impromptu, Informative, Oratory, Poetry, Program Oral Interpretation, Prose, and Storytelling. Nationals rules apply to all events. Students may enter as many events as they wish.

Each event will have 3 preliminary rounds and 1 final round.

COST:

$5/entry. Please send checks to:

SLVHS Speech and Debate c/o Annina Hausmann

Schools must provide a judge for every 5 entries (or fraction thereof). Judges can be hired for $25 for the whole tournament.
