League Policies
Only feet are permitted to intentionally touch the floor at any time. (This change simplifies the rules by creating consistency across all the speech events.)
Visual aids may be held in hands or in the box visible to the judges before the speech. (This rule will simplify the process of students needing to hold their visual aids and start the timer at the same time.)
A teaser is no longer an option for this speech. (This speech has many elements and the additional teaser has added more complication.) Watch 🖥
