SpeechWire Tournament Services - Forensics Tournament Software

It is our pleasure to extend this invitation to you for the 2nd Annual Ogallala Novice Speech Meet to be held on the afternoon of Friday January 29, 2020. This meet will be in-person at the Ogallala High School.

Registration will start at 2:30pm. Round 1 will begin at 3pm.

There will be NO spectators. All competitors, coaches, and judges will be required to wear a mask the entire meet. We will be strictly following all NSAA guidelines.

We will offer competition in each of the 9 NSAA speech events. Six places will be awarded in each event. There will be no sweepstakes. Remember, this is a Novice Meet, so only “first year contestants” will be eligible to compete.

ENTRY FEES

Entry fees are $5.00 for each entry. We would like to have your experienced senior students to judge prelims. They will not be judging their own classmates. Please provide 1 experienced senior or adult for each six entries. Finals will be judged by adult coaches. Hired judges are $50.00 each. Please do your best to cover your entries; we only have a limited supply of judges.

SCHEDULE

Since this meet will be relatively small, we will not use flights. Each round will have all nine events. An official schedule to come.

REGISTRATION for your team will be through Speech Wire. Entries will open on Thursday, January 7th and will close on Thursday January 28th at noon. Minor drops and adds will be accepted on contest day.

If you have any drops or questions, you may call either Kate Daiz at (308) 289-0925 or McLain Wunschel at (308) 289-5176. You may also email us at katediaz@opsd.org or mclainwunschel@opsd.org.

We are thrilled to offer novice contestants another opportunity to compete against each other. We believe it will be a rewarding experience for all involved. We look forward to seeing you on the 29th! Remember, we will still be hosting the Ogallala Invitational on February 20th. More information to come soon.

Sincerely,

Kate Daiz, McLain Wunschel, and Parker Reil
