General Rules for the Public Forum
We will follow NSDA's most recent time for the PF debate. 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 encouraged to check judge's paradigm before the round. Do not cut speeches, and if something unexpected happened that you have to cut speeches, contact the tab right away. There will be coin flip on tabroom.
