Entry Rules:
GENERAL: All programs and speeches must not have been used by a student in any competition (high school or college) prior to September 1, 2025. 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.
LP Events only need to provide one video for all rounds. Impromptu videos should include prep time. Extemp should NOT include prep time.
MODALITY: This is an asynchronous tournament. Please make sure your videos are set to be "unlisted" so they can be accessed by our judges.
