University Novice Tournament

Coaches and Students,

You are cordially invited to participate in the 2023University HS Novice Tournament on October 28, 2022. The tournament will be held in person. We will also have an asynchronous Interp/Extemp option for those unable to attend in person, with recordings due by October 25. These will run as separate events from the in-person tournament. http://universitynovice.tabroom.com

Tournament Highlights:

-A chance for schools to get used to Tabroom/NSDA Classroom in a low-stress environment

-Asynchronous format to facilitate participation for all students in Interp

-In-person tournament for schools able to travel.

-Four preliminary rounds for a quick, easy day. All events will run at the same time.

-Up to eight rounds of competition and feedback.

-No doubling in person; this allows for a shorter day. Students may enter 1 in-person and 1 asynchronous event.

Events: Students may double-enter by entering one in-person and one asynchronous event. (For example, you could sign up for in-person OO and asynchronous OO, or for in-person LD and async HI).
