You are invited to attend the 20^th Annual Fayette Classic held at Fayette County High School on November 21, 2015. Fayette County High School is located in historic Fayetteville, Georgia, thirty minutes south of Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport.

We are excited to announce that the Fayette Classic was named a bid tournament to the National Individual Events Tournament of Champions, which will be held in Denver, Colorado from May 13-15, 2016. 

The following events are eligible for NIETOC bids:

• Oratory
• Dramatic Interpretation
• Humorous Interpretation
• Duo Interpretation
• Duet Acting

The number of bids offered will depend on the number of contestants in each division:

We also offer many other divisions for competition in debate and speech including:

• Novice & Varsity Public Forum
  
• Novice & Varsity Policy Debate
• Novice & Varsity Lincoln Douglas
• Extemporaneous Speaking
• Program of Oral Interpretation
• Impromptu

Debate divisions with fewer than 10 entries will be collapsed to intensify the competition. Speech contestants will be permitted to double enter in any speech event. There will be an open chamber Congressional Debate after preliminary rounds of speech and debate. Students are permitted to enter and exit the chamber as needed.

All contestants must remain on campus during the competition, so your team will not risk being late to their rounds. Being over 15 minutes late to a round can result in forfeiture. The Fayette Classic tries to stay on schedule. 

We hope to see you all here in November. If you need additional information or have any questions, feel free to contact me by phone, 404-316-5244, or email, Kelly.Beverly@mail.fcboe.org.
