with a five minute time limit.

9. When participants have finished speaking each judge will total the score of each

III. TIEBREAKERS

Ties will be broken based on the greatest number of low ranks. Participant’s low rank

will be counted and the participant with the greatest number of low ranks will be declared

the winner. If a tie still exits, then the event superintendent will rank the participant’s

response to questions. The participant with the greatest number of low ranks from the

response to questions will be declared the winner. If a tie still exists then the

participant’s raw scores will be totaled. The participant with the greatest total of raw

points will be declared the winner.

IV. AWARDS

All top 3 speakers will receive medals. The top state winner enrolled in 7th, 8th, or 9th
