Please join us for the Blackduck Drakes Speech Challenge, Saturday, February 9th, 2015, at Blackduck High School.  This is a 7-12 Varsity tournament featuring all 13 MSHSL competitive events.  The entry fee is $5.00 per speaker (duo counts as one).  Please provide judges at a 1:7 ratio.  A limited number of judges will be available for hire at $65, first come, first served.  Deadline to register your team is Tuesday, February 3rd at 4:00 p.m., deadline for drops without charge is Thursday, February 5th at 4:00 p.m.  Drops after that will be charged, and you will be responsible for the correct number of judges.  Please bring your check for registrations on the morning of the tournament, and be prepared to provide the hired judge fees at that time as well if possible, or to provide a pay voucher for the judge(s) to fill out.

On February 7th, registration will begin at 8:00 a.m.
Draws will begin at 9:00 with competition rounds at 9:30, 10:45, and Noon, with finals beginning close to 1:30 p.m.  We will plan to present awards close to 3:30 p.m.

Concessions will be available to students and a light luncheon will be provided to coaches, judges, and bus drivers.

Awards will be presented to all speakers who show superior ability and to the top three scoring teams. 

Please ensure that your speakers are aware of the rules and etiquette of their categories and competition and that your judges are aware of MSHSL rules, expectations regarding keeping explicit ballots and writing critiques that provide speakers with appropriate feedback and suggestions.
Assistance from experienced head coaches will be welcome in the tab room and ballot drop.  We look forward to seeing you in Blackduck on February 7th!
