Invitation

Dear High School Speech and Debate Coaches:

We are excited invite you to the 2nd Annual Ednovate Speech and Debate Invitational. Entry registration will be through our tournament site. Registrations will be confirmed atwww.tabroom.com.

Two Speech events will be offered plus two Debate events. Please check the latest CHSSA Handbook at www.chssa.org for event rules and regulations.

You may enter as many students per event as you like; the best three competitors from your team in each event will count toward team sweepstakes. Each entry will be free.

USC Hybrid High is limited in classrooms, so we cannot have three full rounds of each event at the same time; therefore, we will hold two rounds plus a final for each event. Should an event be particularly large—over 60—we will explore options of additional breaks, but we obviously won't know of any changes like that until just before the tournament date.

Students may enter up to two events in each flight. No tripling in a flight.

FLIGHTS

A: SPAR, Policy

B: Impromptu, Prepared Speech

Trophies will be awarded to 1st – 3rd places in all events.

Food will be available to at the school. Common allergens will be indicated.

We strive to host an inclusive, accessible tournament that enable all individuals, including individuals with disabilities, to engage fully. To be respectful of those with allergies and environmental sensitivities, we ask that you please refrain from wearing strong fragrances.

To request an accommodation or for inquiries about accessibility, please contact Kelsey Wideman at kwideman@uschybridhigh.org

April 24th is the tournament deadline.

Any adds or drops after this time will be subject to a $6 nuisance fee plus the entry fee and will have to occur via email with Kelsey Wideman (only—no phone calls and the website will be locked). Substitutions are free of charge until the conclusion of registration on the 25th.

Please note that our school is small. If we are full at 12:00 PM on Wednesday, we will not add your school’s entry late, no matter how much we love you. Don’t be late!
