“Savannah Showdown” Open Speech and Debate Tournament Invite Dear NSDA Teams and Coaches, The Savannah High School speech and debate team would like to invite you to the “Savannah Showdown” Open Speech and Debate Tournament, December 16-17, 2022. The style of this tournament will be split – I.E’s, Speaking Events, and Congress on Friday and Debate Events on Saturday. We will hold three rounds on Friday, with Top 6 placements awarded from the accumulation of these three rounds’ scores. We will host a brief awards ceremony in the gym to honor these recipients. Saturday we will hold 4 rounds of debate (hidden quarters), semi-finals, and finals. We will hold a brief awards ceremony in the gym to announce semi-final breaking. Additionally, we will host a small ceremony in the cafeteria following sems to congratulate those advancing to the final round. Friday: We will be hosting Congress, Open Extemp, HI, DI, POI, DUO, O.O., and INFO. Prose, Poetry, Storytelling, Live Radio, and Duet Acting will also be offered under MSHSAA rules. NOTE: In an effort to allow Student Congress students a chance to diversify, those entered in Student Congress may also double enter in Radio Speaking if they so choose. We will be placing these event rooms next door to allow for a quick transition between the two. Saturday: We will be hosting Policy Debate, Lincoln Douglas debate, Public Forum Debate. We have made a large community push for judges, but ask that coaches and or a school representative be on standby should the need for a fill-in arise. The deadline for receiving entries on Speechwire.com will be Friday December 10th, 2022 at 3:00PM. We will guarantee 2 entries in each event and then all other entries will be waitlisted upon entry. Entry fees will be 8.00/entry. Please direct any questions to Mary Beth Rosenauer (school) and (816) 596-1260 (cell), or email marybeth.rosenauer@savannahr3.com.
