RULES OF EVENTS
GENERAL: All programs and speeches must not have been used by a student in any competition (high school or college) prior to September 1, 2023. Competitors must be undergraduates working on their first degree. We will be following the rules and ethical standards of the AFA-NST.
ENTRIES: Each student may enter as many events as they want. Events that have 7 or fewer entries will be judged "head-to-head" by three judges. Events with 8 or more entries will be judged by two judges in "preliminary" rounds and then broken to a "head-to-head" final with at least one judge (3 if the pool allows). From prelims into the final, ties will be broken by speaker points. In "head-to-head" rounds, ties will be broken by speaker points and then by judges' preference.
