YFL 6
2022 — NSDA Campus, CA/US
YFL 6
1) NEW: We are piloting an all-live online tournament for YFL 6. ALL events (except Duo) will compete live. Prepared speech competitors will still need to submit a video recording in case of technical difficulties during the tournament. Prepared speech entries that do not submit a backup by the deadline indicated below will be considered incomplete entries, and will thus be dropped.
2) Each competitor, observer, and judge MUST HAVE A LINKED TABROOM ACCOUNT. For instructions on creating and linking Tabroom accounts, click here. ALL speech (except Duo) will be live, meaning even students in events that were previously asynchronous will now need a linked Tabroom account to access competition rooms on Saturday.
3) Varsity competitors are allowed to double enter in speech. The only combination of speech that is not allowed is entering in both exemps.
4) Each school will owe 1 judge per 4 speech entries in the speech pattern and 1 judge per 2 debate entries in the debate pattern. Judges can (and should, if possible!) be entered in both the speech pattern and the debate pattern. This means that 1 judge can potentially cover 4 speech entries and 2 debate entries.
5) Backup speech videos will need to be uploaded as an unlisted video on Youtube and submitted by Thursday 02/03 at midnight at the VERY latest. No late videos will be accepted. All competitors must indicate that they have recorded their video for YFL 6 at the beginning of their video. There should be NO cuts or editing for speech videos.

6) Duo competitors must be masked in their submitted videos. Videos where Duo competitors are unmasked will not be accepted.
