Welcome to Pumpkinstakes!!

Dear High School Coaches,

On Saturday, November 2, 2019, The Watertown Speech Department will once again be hosting the Watertown Individual Events and Congressional Debate Tournaments. 

If you have any questions concerning the tournament, or if you have changes on Friday, please feel free to contact me at school (882-6316 ext. 512 or 695-0646) or at michael.jacobsen@k12.sd.us. 

Changes Saturday morning should be called or texted to (605) 695-0646 [Michael Jacobsen] or (605) 520-4356 [Jordan Bakken.] Please leave a message with specific drops so they can be made before you arrive. 

We will once again be offering Novice Interp this year. Please register your novice competitors in the correct division. We will be offering Novice Humor, Novice Drama, Novice Duo and Novice Mixed Interp (Storytelling, Poetry, and Non-Original Oratory.)

Please note the schedule change for this year. Unfortunately, this means we will NOT be offering any Extemp. We will still be having Oratory. 

NEW THIS YEAR! We will not be having the discussion but instead will be offering Congressional Debate. If numbers allow we will have a Varsity house and a Novice house. For those who are competing in Congressional Debate, please email Jordan Bakken (jordan.bakken@k12.sd.us) for the docket.
