Extemporaneous Speaking

Event Description:

Competitors draw topics from one of two divisions: International and National. National topics will cover U.S. domestic and U.S. foreign policy. International topics will cover the domestic affairs of foreign countries and the foreign affairs of all countries, including the United States. 30 minutes prior to speaking the extemper will draw three topics in the preparation room. He/she immediately chooses one, puts the other two back, and the draw supervisor records the number of the chosen topic. The speaker shall present his/her topic slip to the judge. Failure to speak on the topic chosen will result in the speaker’s disqualification. One note card is allowed (it may be 3 x 5, 4 x 6, or 5 x 7). There is no minimum time but the speaker may not exceed 7 minutes. After a 30-second grace period and an audible STOP, the judge will rank the speaker last, provided all timing rules are followed. Use the timer in the lower right hand of the Tabroom ballot page to track and record the elapsed time of the speech.
