Dear Colleagues,

We are excited to kick off a new series of asynchronous speech scrimmages for your programs.  While this set of speech events is designed to help grow individual events in Georgia and provide more opportunities for competition as we return in-person, it is open to all schools and programs..  The scrimmages will offer two preliminary rounds with paneled judging and a final round if the event numbers warrant. 

The full invitation, event details and all other information can be found in the link above.

For this series, there are no entry fees for Georgia schools.  Schools outside of Georgia and independent entries within Georgia will be charged a low cost fee of $5 per entry.  Regardless of geography, all schools will be asked to enter judges to cover entries – you will owe 2 rounds of judging for every 3 entries.  This is your preliminary round commitment and does not include a final round placement.  For example, if you have 9 entries - you will owe 6 rounds of judging.  Each person can cover up to 5 rounds of judging.  

In an effort to produce high quality feedback, judges will have 48+ hours to adjudicate rounds from students.  We ask that schools enter head coaches and qualified judges (or alumni) to help judge rounds.  

Here are the important dates that you should be aware of for this tournament:

Thursday, 9/8 at 8:00am EST – Limited Prep Topics will be posted
