The following events will be asynchronously offered for NIETOC Bids: Varsity Drama, Varsity Humor, Varsity Duo, Varsity Informative, Varsity Program Oral Interpretation, and Varsity Original Oratory!!
Here at Green Valley, we understand that this may feel early in the year and you may have novice members that are competing in their first or one of their first tournaments. We will also offer a novice category in the above events as well at a discounted price!
Rules:
Videos should be recorded (either by the coach or the students), uploaded to YouTube as "Unlisted", and then a link to that video should be added to the student's registration information in Tabroom. This must be completed by October 12, 2024 by 5:00 pm.
Our goal is to begin sending out novice rounds out on Monday, Oct. 14, 2024.

-Varsity students that would like to receive points for judging are allowed to judge novice events! Coaches, you will be signing those individuals up as "Novice Judge."
