Invitation

Welcome to the 2021 Camel Classic. Because of the safety concerns this year, our tournament will be entirely online. We will be accepting entries as usual on a first come basis, but prioritizing Wyoming schools and South Dakota schools from the Hole in the Wall District. Four entries per event per school to start, but please put any others you have on the wait-list and we will take them as we can. Usually all wait-list entries are accepted.

Events

We will be offering our usual events in two pattern. Entry fees are $10 per entry.

D Pattern: LD, PF, Duet, Drama, and POI
HOPE Pattern: Humor, Oratory, Poetry, Extemp, Informative and Congress

All events are synchronous (except for Duet). Speech events will have 3 preliminary rounds and debate will have four. All events will have a semi and a final in all events except Congress. In Congress there will be three preliminary rounds and one two hour session. Note that the semi finals for HOPE and Super Congress do overlap. Please click the yellow Schedule tab to the right to see the complete schedule.

No doubling within the pattern in LD, PF, or Exempt. All others can double at their own risk. Duet will be recorded and needs to be uploaded by 5 PM on Thursday, February 11th. 

Deadlines

Please have your initial entries in by February 3rd, 2021. Feel free to use TBA slots if you want, as long as you promise to fill them with real people and not drop them. We ask that you have names entered and entries finalized by Tuesday, February 9th, 2021. 

We will send out a Zoom link to all registered schools for final registration the week of the tournament.

Awards

We will award awards to the top six places in each event, and to the top 3 places (all semifinalists) in debates. There will be sweepstakes awards in 4A, 3A, and 1A/2A divisions.

Judging

We will be asking for schools to bring a few judges. Basically, one judge for every 8 entries. If you have debaters entered, a judge who will do some debate would be greatly appreciated. Please make sure that all your judges have linked Tabroom accounts. They will only have access to postings, rooms, and ballots if they are linked properly. 

Extra Stuff

Coaches, please be sure to email signed media release forms for all competitors. One email with all forms for the team would be appreciated if possible. The form can be found to the right side of the registration page under School Entry Forms.

Also, it is very important that coaches review all the information in the tabs to the right (in yellow). There is a schedule as well as specific instructions for the events and judges. Please make sure all competitors and judges are aware of that information.

Please feel free to contact me at sbessette@ccsd1schools.net if you have any questions or issues with registering.

We look forward to seeing you in February!
