Dear Speech Colleagues:

 

 

Shepard High School is proud to host the 8th Annual "District 218 Fling” Speech Tournament on Saturday, January 28th, 2017.

 

 

 

THE SCHEDULE

TBD.  Each student will speak 3 times (ES and RAD will have a double judged round) and there will be finals.  We're shooting for awards at about 4 p.m.

 

 

 

THE JUDGING and ENTRY FEES

Each team will need to furnish the following number of judges based on individual entries:

1 in each event (up to 14 slots)                        $125               

2 in each event (up to 28 slots)                        $150               

3 in each event (up to 42 slots)                        $200               

 

 

 

Please follow the one judge per 5 entries rule of thumb. 

 

*Each team will be responsible for the number of judges based on their original entry number. Teams that are missing judges will be charged $50.00 per judge. This fee will need to be paid before your team will be allowed to compete. Contestant drops on the tournament day will not decrease your number of required judging assignments. 

*Please supply your judges with stopwatches for limited prep events.
