One judge for every 4 LD contestants

One judge for every two CX teams or part thereof

One judge for every 6 Prose/Poetry/Extemp/Congress Contestants

ENTRY FEES

The goal is to create an online practice format for schools that otherwise would not have access to it. The goal is to model the NSDA Springboard format for schools focusing more on UIL speech and debate events. I want to host one practice round for the UIL schools that want an additional practice that otherwise could not get round(s) before their district tournament.

ALL EVENTS WILL HAVE A $10.00 ENTRY FEE TO COVER THE COST OF NSDA CAMPUS ROOMS.
