Welcome to the Nebo Novice

We would like to welcome back the Nebo Novice hosted by Spanish Fork High School. This tournament will be held on Friday October 2nd, 2026. Rounds will start at 4:00 pm to allow teams traveling from outside of South Utah Valley greater flexibility. We plan to run 3 rounds of all Speech and Debate events with the exception of Policy (2 rounds). Congress will have 1 session, lasting 3 hours. Students may double enter all Speech events. Students may not double enter a Speech and Debate event. All events will be for novice competitors. Any 2nd and 3rd year Speech and Debate competitors may be used to judge. Registration opens on August 17th, 2026.
