Covid Protocol: WLW forensics is committed to ensuring your safety. We ask that masks be worn by all participants, judges, coaches, and guests while in Walled Lake Western High School. Competitors may remove their mask while performing.

Parking: WLW is currently under construction and parking is ONLY AVAILABLE in the south parking lot (the lot closest to Pontiac Trail). We are sharing the building with a dance competition and parking is going to be TIGHT.

Dancers: Yep, glitter and hairpins! We are sharing the building with dancers. They will be utilizing the commons are (outside the cafeteria and the auditorium). We will have the auditorium for awards.

Judges:    You must supply one qualified judge for each 5 individuals or fraction thereof. Duo and Multiple count as two contestants. A qualified judge is one that is a high school graduate with at least two years experience in competition and who knows how to fill out a ballot and give educational critiques. You do not have to be certified to judge at this tournament. Teams whose judges fail to show up for rounds will be charged a $25.00 missed round fee to be collected on the day of the tournament.

I will have a few judges available for hire at the cost of $100 for the day. Please let me know that you need to hire a judge as soon as possible so that I can secure these judges for you.

Food:    There will be NO TIME to leave the building to eat. We will supply a nutritious and relatively tasty assortment of food. We will have breakfast foods before the first round, lunch during the day and goodies. All proceeds from food sales will go to WLW’s forensics team’s budget so that we can attend tournaments. So, THANKS for your support!

Bearclaw Coffee Co. will be on-sight selling a variety of coffees, frappuccinos, & assorted baked goods.

Fees:  The basic registration fee will be $10.00 per individual entry. Duos are $15.00 and Multiples will be $20.00 each. Drop and Add fees will be $10.00 per drop or add after the registration deadline date. Thus, a person that you originally registered in Prose who then drops from Prose and adds to Poetry on the day of the tournament will cost you the original registration fee of $10.00 plus the $10.00 drop fee and then an additional $10.00 add fee. Adds will only be allowed if they fit within the schematic structure.
