J. P. Worsham Memorial Speech Tournament

 

The Snyder High School Speech Department cordially invites your school to the J. P. Worsham Memorial Speech Tournament on January 23-24, 2009.  We will host all TFA events except Duet Acting.  This tournament only offers one preliminary round, but we allow most of your students to enter ten events.  One very important change for our tournament will be that we will be using the U.I.L. Lincoln-Douglas Debate Spring Topic instead of the NFL January/February topic.  We are using this topic so that the smaller schools in the area will get some practice rounds.  We will award the top 5 schools with team plaques and will also award the top small school.  This will be a great opportunity for each of you to solidify your district squads for U.I.L. and also get those remaining qualifications for TFA State.  We are asking that you be available to judge as needed.  It is our hope that you enjoy your stay in Snyder and that your students exceed all of your expectations.  We do understand that you are our guests and we promise to do all we can to make your stay a positive one.  Brackets in debate will not be broken so that the integrity of the brackets will be maintained.  In other words you may debate your own students in quarters, semis, or finals if the brackets warrant.
