Concord High School Valentine's Day Speech Tournament

February 15, 2025

The Concord High School Speech Team invites you to our February Tournament..  We will offer all 15 ISSDA speech events in one division. All normal ISSDA rules apply, unless otherwise specified. Please make sure to read through all of the following information carefully. 

Speech Meet Information

Speech Registration: 7:30-8:15 am in front of the Media Center. Extemp Prep starts at 8:30 am. Round 1 will begin at 9:00 am (EST).

Entries: Varsity only with a maximum of 6 entries per event.

Judges:

• Please bring 1 judge for every 5 entries or fraction (6 entries=2 judges).
• The head coach is expected to judge and be listed as the 1st judge on the entry. 
• Some judges may be asked to judge for the District Speech tournament also occuring that day. 

E-Balloting We will be using online ballots for our tournament. This means several things:

1. You will need to supply valid email addresses for each of your judges.

2. Your judges will need to bring a laptop or tablet to use to judge. While smartphones can work, it’s a bit more difficult to write critiques on a phone than the larger devices.  

Doubling: All events are allowed to double according to ISSDA rules. 

• Please note the following regarding doublers in Extemp and Broadcasting:

1. Extempers MUST go to extemp first and then go to their second event.

2. Broadcasting doublers MUST go to Broadcasting first. 

Events:

• All events will have 3 preliminary rounds with a final round of 6. 

• Broadcasting: 

  • Rounds 1 & 3 will be a 5 minute news program. Information for the commercial and music copy will be available for download Monday, February 5 after 6pm.

  • Round 2--Students should bring a 2 minute editorial on the TikTok ban.

  • Final Round--Breaking News

• Extemp:  Draw Rounds 1 & 3. Round 3 topic will be used for final round.

NOTE: Draw will be done via speechwire. Students should bring a laptop/tablet with them and have a live.speechwire.com account to access their questions.

• Discussion:  Artifacts will be available for download on Monday, February 5 after 6pm.

Food:  Snacks, drinks, etc. will be available for purchase. We will also have lunch availabie for sale too (Ramen, pizza, etc.).
