Speech Links and Information

Greetings!

We look forward to welcoming you to our MSDL Online Winter Wonderland Tournament on Saturday! Please pass this information along to students as our distribution is only to coaches and judges.

It is our understanding that many students will be competing and judging from classrooms at their schools. We urge you to have students log into Tabroom, in advance of the tournament, from the computer they will be using on Saturday and from the school. Once logged in, there are links to NSDA Campus Test Rooms on the lower right of the login page. Students should click on the link for the Test Competition Room to ensure that they have both video and audio capability. Many schools utilize firewalls that block video sites.

All tournament links and information can be found at: https://www.tabroom.com/index/tourn/index.mhtml?tourn_id=22678

Information for Coaches

Coaches only or their designee (i.e. one text/call per school): On Saturday morning, between 7:30 and 8:15, please text (preferred) or call the number which was sent via email to confirm your entry and to advise us of any last-minute drops. (PLEASE DO NOT FORWARD THIS NUMBER FOR STUDENTS OR JUDGES TO CHECK-IN WITH THE TOURNAMENT.) Please remember to include the name of your school when texting. This assists us in identifying changes that we will need to make prior to the start of the tournament. Please note that we are extremely tight on judges for Saturday. If you have a dropped judge, we need you to find a replacement if at all possible.
