General Rules for the Public Forum

We will follow NSDA's most recent time for the PF debate. Due to current circumstances, we will not personally show cards. Instead, we will use a website called speechdrop.net. Information on how to share cards is uploaded on the right. Below are times of each speech. Maximum speaker score you can get is 30 and minimum is 1. Low speak win is possible (you can still win with lower speaker point). Students are allowed to ask for judge's paradigm before the round begins. Do not cut speeches, and if something unexpected happened that you have to cut speeches, contact tab right away.

General Rules for the Original Oratory

1. Max speaker point you can get is 20 and minimum is 1. The only way you can get 1 is if you didn't speak anything (No tied ranks are possible, but tied speaker points are allowed).

2. There is no minimum time, but there is a maximum time limit of 10. If you go over 10 minutes, you will lose 1 point for every minute you exceed the limit and you cannot get first place. The best you can get is second place.

3. Do not interrupt other people's speeches. You will lose points if you constantly do it.
