Resources for Speech Judges

All documents are in Adobe PDF Format. The booklet form is appropriate for printing double siding and then folding in half to form a book. Manual form is better for downloading and reading online, or if you do not have a double sided printer.

Note: Judges for all MSDL tournaments must have graduated from high school unless otherwise noted in the posted tournament invitation.
