General information This information is from a tournament in a past season! This is a High School tournament in Minnesota. View manager contact information  Welcome to the registration site of the 2018 Cotter Speech Tournament (March 24, 2018)

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 in their Preliminary rounds. A notation will be made of the official time. However, the students are expected to follow the MSHSL rules specifc for their category in the Final Round. If the student goes over in Finals, their overall rank in that round will be decreased by one spot.
