SPEECH QUALIFYING RULES:

TOURNAMENT FORMAT:  Each school is permitted 22 total entries at the State Quals IE tournament. Wild cards (top 7 at a 2016-17 CFL non-novice tournament) do not count against the school's 22 entries limit. (Please double check your wildcard entries in the email Brandon sent out today, Monday Feb. 27, subject line "State Quals Info and More").

DOUBLE ENTRY AND DOUBLE QUALIFYING:

Students may double enter in any two events except the two extemp events.  Students may not attend State in 2 Speech events, however, so a choice must be made should they qualify in two events.  Students may not attend State in Parli debate and either extemp, so if a student decides to compete at State Quals IE, after qualifying in parli, they are agreeing to give up their parli spot should one of the debaters qualify in extemp.

SCRIPTS* - Students must have turned in their scripts prior to the script reading. If a script was rejected, the corrected script must be turned in to Gay Brasher before 7:30am on March 5th.

Please provide 1 judge for every 2 entries, making sure to indicate gender and experience level in the notes section of the judge screen as we will be assigning judges via computer.   This will be a large tournament, so please enter your students and judges as soon as possible, and no later than Thursday, March 2nd at 5:00pm!

AM Judge Shift 7:30am - 1:00pm
PM Judge Shift 12:30pm - 7:00pm

If you have a community judge, please register them here.

TENTATIVE SCHEDULE (please note that we will run the tournament as quickly as possible, but it naturally will take longer than a league tournament because there are 3 judges per prelim round). PM judges must still arrive at 12:30pm for instructions.

Coaches / Tournament Staff

Please make sure that your school's legal representative/chaperone for the day understands that s/he will be needed to work on the tournament staff for the entire tournament (either tab room or judge-call room). Schools with exceptionally large entries are humbly asked to bring more than one representative. Conversely, smaller schools that normally share a chaperone are humbly asked to bring a representative for each school if at all possible. We realistically need close to twenty coaches to staff a tournament of this size; thank you in advance for your assistance.

YOU SHOULD BE PREPARED TO SHOW YOUR PERMISSION SLIPS/MEDICAL RELEASE FORMS TO THE TOURNAMENT DIRECTOR.
