Tournament Registration

In order to register competitors and judges for tournament competition, you need to have access to the tournament’s online registration software. There are several main different registration websites. Here’s how to access and use each of them:

SPEECHWIRE: www.speechwire.com

You can create an account by clicking Your Account on the top menu, then the Create Account button and follow the simple process.

After your account has been created, you can log in.

NOTE: Students also need to create their own Speechwire account using a personal (non-school) email address. To do this, they should go to live.speechwire.com and create an account. After this has been done, coaches will need to “link” their students. Log in to your Speechwire account, click the “Team Roster” icon, and “activate” their accounts. When completed, the word “Activated” should appear next to their name on the overall roster in green. 

TABROOM: www.tabroom.com

You can create an account by clicking Sign Up on the top menu. If you are already a member of the National Speech and Debate Association, you can login with your NSDA website credentials, and your NSDA roster will be imported automatically.

If you are not an NSDA head coach, fill out the requested information to create a new Tabroom account.

After your account has been created, you can log in.

NOTE: Students also need to create their own Tabroom account using a personal (non-school) email address. To do this, they should go to www.tabroom.com and create an account. After this has been done, coaches will need to “link” their students. Log in to your Tabroom account. You can either add a new student (upper right menu) and do a search for them using their personal email address, OR if the student is already on your roster, click their name and do an email address search.
