Dallastown Wildcat Invitational
2014 — PA/US
Impromptu Speaking [SUPPLEMENTAL]
Event Description:
Our supplemental events are always a highlight of the Wildcat Invitational for competitors, coaches, and audience members alike. In addition to being a whole lot of fun, these events provide a valuable opportunity for students to gain experience practicing fundamental forensics skills early in the season--without requiring any preparation prior to the tournament.
Each competitor may enter one of the supplemental events: either Impromptu Speaking or Spontaneous Argumentation. Following the last preliminary round of the regular events, while scores are being tabulated, a single round of the supplemental events will be held. Supplemental events will not be separated into varsity and novice divisions, and there will be no final rounds in these events.
Contestants in Impromptu Speaking will each select one of three possible speech topics. Each speaker will have a total of five minutes to divide between preparation and speaking.
Supplemental events DO NOT contribute to a school's judging quota.
