Dear coaches,

We will offer all events EXCEPT Policy. All speech events will be hosted at Stow-Munroe Falls High School; all debate events (PF, LD, CONG) will be hosted at Hudson High School. A joint awards ceremony will be held at Hudson High School at the conclusion of the tournament.
 
We are proud to also be hosting middle school competition! Like the HS level, all middle school speech events are at SMFHS; all middle school debate events are at Hudson.
 
We have limited space so early applications will be attended to first.
