Speech Event Information

We urge you to submit your IE entry as soon as possible since these are always the first to fill.

Seven events are offered this year: Original Oratory, Dramatic Interpretation, Humorous Interpretation, Program Oral Interpretation, Informative Speaking, Mixed Extemporaneous Speaking, and Duo Interpretation. NSDA rules and time limits will apply to all events. For more information on NSDA rules, please refer to your Chapter Manuals or the NSDA website (www.speechanddebate.org).

Each school may enter a maximum of five (5) entrants in each category. Students may single or double enter, but each one counts as a separate entry for the purpose of assessing fees. It is a firm policy that students are not allowed to triple enter.

Sweepstakes awards will be given in Individual Events. All students who clear to elimination rounds for a school will be figured in to the sweepstakes calculations.

There will be four preliminary rounds breaking to quarterfinals. The IE portion of the tournament will be held at Attea Middle School and will conclude on Sunday evening.
