Tournament Information

CITRON ONLINE SPEECH TOURNAMENT

Citron is hosting this online tournament to give students an option to compete not only online (avoid travel) but also not have to commit to weekend tournaments. The tournament is held on ZOOM, but scoring/ballots are done in Tabroom.

The fee is $10 per entry and every 5 (and fraction there of) entry must provide a judge or buyout a judge for $45. We will try to keep async entries tied to async judges.

All questions should be send to allibkind@haftr.org
