Speech Contest FAQ
2. How do you pick the winners?
Each contest has a set of rules which mandate originality and lay down the procedures. If you go over your time limit by thirty seconds, you're eliminated. If you go under your time limit by thirty seconds, you're eliminated - except in Table Topics, which requires you to speak at least one minute, no less. In the audience will be contest judges, scattered in the crowd, each with a judge's guide and ballot used to rate you against what a winning effort should be and how you compare with the others. There's a different form for each contest, since each contest involves different skills.
