Dear Speech Coach,
Moline High School invites you to embark on a journey to the Western side of the great state of Illinois....(insert drumroll & fanfare here). We are hosting the 2nd annual MHS Encore! Speech Tournament on December 15, 2012. As this date coincides with my daughter's second birthday, we will try to make the tournament run as smoothly as possible so that I can get home for birthday cake! Cake & Party favors aside, it would be great to have you join us for what will hopefully be a great way to end your 2012 competition!
STRUCTURE: Two flighted preliminary rounds (one being double-judged), and varsity and novice finals. Extemp and Radio are B events. Please plan on arriving by 7:30 AM.
ENTRY: A maximum of 3 entries per event. Please contact me if your team wishes to compete with more than that. Please register online using SpeechWire.
JUDGES: Each team is expected to bring one qualified judge for every six entries. If you wish to bring extra entries (numbers permitting), you will be asked to bring extra judges as well. If you contact me soon enough, hired judges may be available at a cost of $75 per judge.

If you want to enter more than 3/event, please contact me.
