Welcome! This tournament is designed to give students who have decided to take a Debate class an opportunity to give an Extemp speech. This tournament focuses on speech structure and content. Due to time and location restraints- most kids will be a talking head because they recorded somewhere in the hallway. This tournament gives students feedback on their content and as an instructor- valuable feedback while not having to watch 110 novice Extemp speeches.

Judging needs to be done by Wednesday, September 16 @ 7 pm.
