On behalf of the coaching staff at Watertown High School, I would like to cordially invite you to the 62nd annual Watertown Speech Fiesta. This year’s Fiesta will be held on Friday and Saturday, January 20-21, 2012 in Watertown, South Dakota. The Fiesta began as a small regional tournament, but has grown to attract schools from several states. We are proud to offer eight divisions of individual events, as well as seven divisions of debate.

The 2012 Fiesta promises to deliver some of the finest competition in the area. Debate divisions will all break to semi-finals (some may be hidden in round 5 dependent upon event size).

Registration for the 2012 Watertown Speech Fiesta can be found online. Visit the Joy of Tournaments website (www.joyoftournaments.com/sd/watertown). If you experience difficulties, try logging in again or try a PC instead of a Mac. If you continue to have difficulties, please contact me by email (scott.walker@k12.sd.us). You may also call me at 605.882.6324 (debate room), 605.886.4230 (home), or 605.868.4200 (cell).

Registrations are due by 4:00 PM on Monday, January 16. The registration window will remain open for you to make changes until Wednesday, January 18 at 5:00 PM. Fees will be calculated at that time with the exception of hired judges, which will be calculated on Tuesday. After 5:00 PM on Thursday, please contact me by phone or email to make changes. When you leave for the tournament on Friday morning, please contact the tournament with any additional changes to ensure that the general meeting and round one begin on time.

We are excited to host you at this year’s Fiesta. We hope you will join us for Fiesta 2012!
