Cotter High School (Winona, MN) is excited to host a speech meet on March 25, 2017!  Our tournament will feature all 13 MSHSL categories and there is no limit to total team entries.  Check-in on the day of the tournament is at the John Nett Center, 360 Vila St., Winona.

***Special Note (12/15/16):  Due to the generosity of a local sponsor who wants to promote communication skills among Minnesota high school students, we are able to offer the first 20 entries at no cost to each school registering.  The remaining entries will be $6.00 an event as previously stated.
 
Scheduling:
We will be site scheduling this tournament, so please make all necessary changes to your registration on Speechwire until registration closes on Saturday morning. You may text any of your drops to Amy French (507) 450-2690.
 
Entry Limits:
There are no entry limits for teams or categories.
 
Entry Fees:
$6.00 per entry (Duos count as one entry)
Checks can be made payable to "Cotter Schools", with "Speech Meet" in the memo line.
 
Judging Requirements:
Teams are required to bring one judge for every six entries. Additional judges will be available to hire for $90.00 if teams cannot meet this requirement. Please contact Amy French as soon as possible if you anticipate you will need to hire a judge.
 
Tournament Format:
There will be three preliminary rounds of competition followed by a Final consisting of students who ranked 1-6 in prelims.
 
Additionally one preliminary round and all final rounds will feature a timer with timing cards.  The timing process will be executed in similar fashion as sub-sections/sections and state.  This is to give each competitor at least one attempt with time cards PRIOR to sub/sections, section competition.  There will not be a disqualification upon exceeding time, however, if the student goes over, their overall rank in that round will be decreased by one spot.  Stopping on the sentence where the timer stands, will not result in this penalty.  This rule will apply in both preliminary rounds and final rounds.
