Panel Discussion

Abbreviation PANEL
Format Speech
Entry Fee $6.00
Entry 1 competitors per entry

Event Description:

We will be trying out the new Panel rules that were presented recently at ISATA. If they pass in December they will be in place for State, so it will be good to be familiarized with the new changes. They are as follows:


Intros and conclusions are not required, though seem to be the tradition.
If an introduction is given, it should last less than 1 minute per competitor and be limited to Name, entry code, and a thesis statement about the topic.
If a conclusion is given, it should be less than 1 minute per competitor and be limited to Name, entry code, and a final thought on the topic.

Emphasis should be on problem solving through unique perspectives, civil discourse, and engaging presentation. NOT group consensus.
