We will be offering nine speech events under the rules and procedures
of the New Jersey Forensic League. (see www.njflonline.org for rules)

All students will compete in three preliminary rounds.  Students will
advance to outrounds.  Outrounds will be determined pending entry
numbers.  Any event with sixty or more entries after registration closes
will advance to a semi-final round.  If an entry reaches 100, we will
advance to a quarter-final round.
