About this format:
Contestants will draw three topics.
They will speak on one of the topics. Speakers will have a total of seven minutes to BOTH prepare and speak on the issue.
Judges should assign higher ranks to speakers who spend the vast majority of their time (5-6 1/2 minutes) speaking as opposed to preparing.
Speeches should be analytical and well-organized.
Participants should not use newspapers,
magazines, internet articles, briefs, books, or reference tools when preparing
speeches.
