Greetings from BBE! Belgrade-Brooten-Elrosa Public Schools is excited to announce we are hosting our (hopefully) annual speech tournament "BBE Jag-tastic Invitational" on Saturday, February 13th, 2027 at the BBE High School in Belgrade. We are excited to host again this year!

 

We are dedicated to providing solid feedback to our speakers. Please provide your judges with tools on how to focus on meaningful feedback. Check out this handout if needed (Speech Judging for Dummies). We want this to be a FUN tournament.

Our BBE district focuses on the idea of Jaguar PRIDE. Please nominate the student that embodies dispositions of Positivity, Respect, Integrity, Determination, & Excellence. These students will be recognized during our awards ceremony. We will send out a Google Form closer to the tournament for nominations.

 

This tournament will have 3 prelim rounds with finals and honors finals (if enough entries) with awards for 1st through 6th place in each. Teams need to enter 1 judge for every 6 entries. Additional judges will be available for a fee of $150 per. Entry fees are $7.00 per entry. Please have all students & judges registered by Tuesday, February 9th at 6:00pm and drops by Thursday, February 11th at 6:00pm. Drops after this date will be charged a $10.00 drop fee for the disrruption and rescheduling of the tournament.
