Hello and Welcome to the Gilbert Water Tower Tournament!

We're hosting our SPEECH ONLY tournament at this location:

Gilbert High School

1101 E Elliot Rd

Gilbert, AZ 85234

Offered Events

The following events will be offered at our tournament for high school: Original Oratory, Informative, POI, DI, HI, Duo, OSW, Poetry, Prose, Storytelling, Mixed (US/I) Extemp, Expository, Impromptu, and Radio Duos.

Students WILL NOT be allowed to enter in both Extemp and Radio, as both of these events require a 30 prep period. Students may enter up to two events. OSW, Prose Interp, and Radio Duos will be conducted with Arizona rules to offer students the most amount of feedback on their piece(s) for Nationals.

The following events will be offered at our tournament for middle school: Original Oratory, Duo, Impromptu, Storytelling, Declamation, Prose, Radio Duos.

READ THE INVITE FOR RULES. This tournament is meant to help students prepare for Nationals, so maybe read the invite and/or Nats rules before you prep your competitors.

OSW, Prose, and Radio will be AZ rules. EVERY other event will be Nationals rules (linked above) and on the right. In accordance with NSDA's policies for 2024-2025, NO GENERATIVE AI may be used in round. If a competitor is found to violate this rule, they will be disqualified. You can try to yell at Marissa about this, but it will be for naught.
