Welcome to the Logan Will Ultimate Challenge tournament hosted by Grants Pass and North Valley on Feb 17-18, 2017.

Tabroom.com: After the experiment with electronic ballots at Ashland's tournament, we will likely try to use them as well for Logan Will. Please help your judges set-up tabroom accounts and bring smart devices with chargers. Students will tabroom.com accounts should receive notifrications about postings throughout the tournament as well.

Topics: In order to better prepare our speakers for the National Qualifiers, we will use the MARCH topics for all events. I will post those topics here once they have been announced.

Entry Rules:

No one may enter more than 1 event per pattern (except those competing in the Ultimate Challenge).

Those wishing to compete in Informative Speaking may do so in Expository Speaking with no penalties.
