Our virtual tournament will feature all MSHSL categories as well as POI and impromptu. We will split IX and USX as separate categories for extemporaneous speaking and we will break to regular and honor finals in all events.
We are pleased this year to once again be an NIETOC bid tournament. If our registration numbers allow, we will break to extra final rounds in the NIETOC categories.
We look forward to seeing you on February 20!
Sincerely,
