HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
 
Please join the Summit High Speech and Debate team as we celebrate forensics and the festive season at our annual (well, here's hoping...) Summit Hilltopper Holiday Classic on Saturday, December 8, 2018! 
 
We are asking Santa Claus for NICE WEATHER this year. Maybe if we are really GOOD, we won't end up on the naughty list with another snow cancellation!
  
EVENTS
We will be offering all of the 11 NJFL Speech Events: Dramatic, Humorous, Duo, Oral Interpretation, Program Oral Interpretation; Improvisational Acting, Impromptu Speaking, Informative Speaking, Extemporaneous Speaking, Original Oratory, and Declamation.
 
We are also having NOVICE FINAL ROUNDS in all Speech events, excluding Congress and Declamation, if there are enough entries.
 
We will offer Congressional Debate, two divisions of Public Forum Debate and one open division of Lincoln-Douglas Debate.
 
Students may double enter in any of the speech events, but may not double enter if competing in student congress or debate. 
 
There will be three preliminary rounds and one final round in all ten of the speech events.  The final round of EXTEMP will include cross-examination.
 
DEBATE will have four rounds with no final round.
 
In Public Forum, students will be debating the December resolution. We will be following CFL rules, so there will be NO coin flip for sides.
 
CONGRESS will have two sessions.  Please email all BILLS by Fri, November 30.  We will upload the bills to SpeechWire by Sun, December 2.
 
NEW!!  JUDGE TRAINING
The main goal of the NJSDL is to provide a quality learning experience for all of our competitors and to help them grow as effective communicators.  At our fall coaches meeting we decided we could provide additional judge training at some of our fall tournaments to more effectively prepare our judges, especially for the State and District Tournaments. The Summit Hilltopper Holiday Classic will be offering JUDGE TRAINING for your new judges during ROUND 1. Experienced parent judges and SHS competitors will review all of the judging expectations and criteria for providing constructive feedback to our students. Students will give brief presentations of various events and new judges will learn to fill out a ballot and write constructive comments. Following the training, the new judges will be assigned an experienced judge to shadow in ROUND 2 and ROUND 3. 
 
Please email ANNE POYNER with the names of any parents or new judges who would be interested in attending the JUDGE TRAINING. 
 
AWARDS
Awards will be given to the six finalists in each event, and sweepstakes trophies to the top three schools.
