Welcome to our Trojan Way September MS Asynchronous Tournament!

This asynchronous tournament is organized by the middle school team of West Marshall Middle School but is open to all middle school students from across the country. There are few opportunities for middle schools that can't travel to a local tournament, so we strive to provide a place for all Middle Schools to have a competition outlet that will provide good feedback for our competitors and strengthen the competition.

.

This being our first tournament that we will host, we are doing something a little special. All entries and coaches will be entered in a raffle for a Custom Speech & Debate T-Shirt. Coaches will need to keep an eye open for an email if selected as a winner. We will need a T-Shirt size. We will select one coach at random and one student.

.

***** IF THERE IS AN EVENT THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE ADDED FOR THIS TOURNAMENT THAT IS NOT CURRENTLY OFFERED, PLEASE CONTACT THE TOURNAMENT HOST. IF ENOUGH ENTRIES ARE AVAILABLE FOR THE EVENT, WE WILL GET THAT ADDED. AND, IF THERE ARE EVENTS THAT DO NOT HAVE AT LEAST 6 ENTRIES, WE WILL COMBINE EVENTS APPROPRIATELY. *****

Please note that while we will: Follow NSDA Middle School Rules & Prioritize Judge Feedback for Students. Students need constructive feedback to improve their pieces and a ballot with only compliments can only help so much. Be sure to be specific about what they can improve to tell their speech/story. If you need additional guidance on how to be an effective speech judge, please refer to this training through the NSDA: Intro To Judging Speech Events
