Hello everyone! After looking closely at numbers and individual competitor conflicts, June and I have come up with the following schedule. This schedule does have some challenges, however provides the least amount of conflicts possible. Regarding the unavoidable conflicts, we will have to adjust accordingly to make it all work. We can do it.

Pattern A- Parli, Prose,POI,Radio,DI,ADS,HI

Pattern B-EXT,Poetry,Info,OO,IMP,Duo

WE NEED 20 Judges per round

District 3 has been allocated five Congress bids to the state tournament. Historically, we have distributed these bids equitably among schools that have actively fielded Congress competitors during the 2025–2026 school year. Under this approach, schools with students who have participated in Congress this season will divide the available state spots evenly. For example, if School A and School B have active Congress competitors and School C does not, Schools A and B would each have the opportunity to fill the initial state bids.

If any Congress bids remain after schools with active participants have filled their spots, those remaining bids may then be offered to schools without Congress competitors. If anyone has concerns about this process or would prefer to discuss an alternative method of distribution, we are happy to convene a district Zoom meeting to review and adjust the plan collaboratively.

Dropbox links for scripts are below, and will also be emailed to coaches. Scripts must be uploaded prior to the start of the competition.
