We are excited to extend this invitation to attend the 2025 Lincoln Northeast Space Race Speech Tournament.  

The competition will be held on Friday, January 31.

 (We are pleased to announce that we are once again a NIETOC bid tournament. We hope you and your team have the opportunity to attend!)

The tournament will be held in-person. Round/judge assignments will be handled electronically, and also outside the auditorium and in the judge’s lounge. Ballots will also be electronic.

We will accept up to triple-entries for any student, although students will be responsible for ensuring they make it to all their events in each round.

Trophies will be awarded to the top three highest performing triathlon competitors. 

 

We will not include speaker points on ballots, and will follow the NSDA’s overtime guidelines (over time cannot be first).

Parking will be extremely tight due to several things happening in the building that day, and a place to park will be announced soon. Students may congregate in the commons, and we will move to the auditorium for awards. 

 

PLEASE BE ADVISED THAT I AM CURRENTLY WORKING WITH ADMIN AND THIS IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE.
