You are officially invited to the Choteau High School Tangled Tinsel Tournament. We are excited to be hosting the holiday tournament and are looking forward to hosting you and your teams in our facility. We will be registering the Northern B/C schools first and then working with other division and class teams as space allows. We are expecting many entries and will do what we can to accommodate as many as possible. Event caps will start at 16 per category. Anything above and beyond that will be waitlisted and added based on space availability.

Registration and tabbing will take place on Tabroom. The link for registration is http://choteauholiday.tabroom.com/. Northern B/C teams please register your entire team immediately. I know this will be new for many of us, which gives us a great opportunity to learn this other option.

Fees: $5.00 per student plus a $10.00 per school fee. There will be no onsite registration. You are free to bring your payment with you, otherwise, Choteau Schools will send an invoice.

Entry Deadline:

All entries must be entered by December 13, 2022, at 5:00 pm. Your entry fees will be frozen at that time. You will be able to drop after the 13th, but your fees will stay the same.

MHSA Rules: MHSA B/C rules will apply.

Round Times: (Extemp draw will be determined after final numbers)

Concessions will be offered from 8:00 up to Awards.

Hospitality will be provided for our coaches, drivers, and judges.

Wi-Fi will be available for coaches and those students that require internet for their events. We ask that you do not share the password with all of your students.

Awards will be in the auditorium. Plan to wear your fanciest tinseled ensembles. Think sparkles everywhere.

The student area will be in the High School Gym. Please be considerate of street shoes on the gym floor. Basketballs and volleyballs will not be tolerated.

We will be utilizing the high school, junior high, and elementary classrooms. Depending on numbers, potentially the church and youth house. Remind your students that they are guests in our facilities and it is expected that they respect them and their contained materials.

We will be doing team energy at 8:45 in the student area. We would love to have you and your students join us. We will do it again prior to finals. (If you don’t know what that is, you are missing out).
