Friends:

Welcome to the UIL District 9-3A Speech Tournament. This tournament will be facilitated virtually through Tabroom.com and NSDA Campus. 

This tournament is only open to members of UIL District 9-3A. Any entries that come from schools outside of this alignment will be removed. 

Official registration for this competition must occur on both Tabroom AND in the UIL Spring Meet Entry System. Please make sure that your registration matches what is in the UIL system. We will be checking.

Please make sure that your technology department has allowed network access for your STUDENT devices for the following things: 1) emails to your student emails from info@tabroom.com, 2) access/log in capabilities to Zoom, 3) access/log in capabilities on the Jitsi platform.  

In terms of facilitating the tournament the day of the competition, each of your competitors will need to have an account on Tabroom.com. Instructions for how you can do that can be found here:

Keep in mind students will need to have their own tabroom account created and linked to the school/institution they attend and an email address attached/linked to their account. 

Here is a video to help you link your students to their accounts: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3YNrHUweRPA&feature=youtu.be
