Fees Judges
$15 School Fee/Day the Same Judges may be used in Speech/Debate, not Policy

Events will be held live synchronously online. Back up videos will be used only in case of technology issues that cannot be fixed in 20 min.
PLEASE REACH OUT IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO PAY FEES--We have a way to help with this!
WE WILL RUN THIS LIKE a Double Entry State. Policy cannot double enter, but Students may double enter a debate and speech event otherwise.
To help smaller teams/school, Students may also double enter between speech events (not the same event though) UNLESS THEY ARE IN EXTEMP.
THERE IS ONLY 1 Entry per school Per Division/Event. (IE 1 Champion, 1 Varsity, 1 JV, 1 Novice) Novice is that they have not competed in Speech and Debate (in any event) at the HS level prior to this year (one tournament only exception).
Please note that there are no rules against sitting on the floor, using space of the room, etc for any of the interp or oratory events. There is NO use of props except for the binder in POI and Visual aids for Informative.
We look forward to seeing you all with us!
