Duo Interp (Asynchronous)

Event Description:

TOURNAMENT WEBSITE FOR HELP & INFORMATION for judges, coaches, & competitors: https://castleclassic.weebly.com

Due to the nature of COVID and that we have competitors from around the nation, you may see differences in how DUO will be presented. Some may choose to use a split-screen with each competitor filming their own parts and then having the 2 recordings appear on one screen side by side. Others have the opportunity to film in the same room. Please know that these regional differences due to differing restrictions surrounding the virus should NOT dictate how you vote in the round. Please use your best judgment on the overall performance and NOT on the technical merits of filming choices.

Duo Interpretation Rules:

A. The oral interper recreates and shares a selection of material from printed, published source(s) that has (have) literary merit.
