NIETOC History

The National Individual Events Tournament of Champions is an annual national tournament in Duo, Duet Acting, Humor, Drama, Oratory, Informative, Ex. Speaking, and POI. Speakers must achieve excellence throughout the regular season to earn a spot at the tournament. NIETOC hosts some of the best competitors from around the country. 

In 2020, NIETOC was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic and an online tournament, the MASQ (Making Art while Socially Quarantined) was held instead. 

*= denotes a "MASQ" entry. Note: Duo was not held at the 2020 MASQ Tournament.
