ENTRY FEES
The goal is to create an online practice format for schools that otherwise would not have access to it. The goal is to model the NSDA Springboard format for schools focusing more on UIL speech and debate events. I want to host one practice round for the UIL schools that want an additional practice that otherwise could not get round(s) before their district tournament. We are attaching a fundraising platform if it would be easier for you to "make a donation" as your payment for participating in these events. We have really enjoyed hosting these throughout the semester and hope they have benefited your program as well. If you choose to do this in the notes piece of the donation put "UIL Springboard #??-Entry Fee" so that we will know which one you are "donating" for.
