MS PF will use the Ohio middle school November/December topic.

Judge requirements: 1 judge for every 1-5 speech, 1-8 congress, and 1-2 for each type of debate. If you don't enter enough judges, your entries may be dropped or you may incur a $30 missing judge fee if we have enough judges to cover your entries. Please enter email addresses for your judges because we will be using electronic ballots. Fancy ribbons will be awarded for first-sixth places and mailed to the school's coach.
