Contestants will be judged on speed, clarity, salesmanship, opening statements, interaction with the audience and over-all impression. Score sheets will be similar to the one that are used in the NAA International Auctioneers Contest. This is an informal contest and a Fun Event to encourage future Auctioneers.
