Event Rules:

We will be following NSDA Rules for the following events: DI, DUO, EXT, HI, INFO, OO, POI. 

We will be following CHSSA Rules for the following events: IMP*** and OI.

***Impromptu: Speakers will be limited to 2 minutes or preparation time and 5 minutes of speaking time. 

In all events, we will be defaulting to NSDA Overtime Rules: if a student goes overtime, the judge may not rank them 1st, but need not rank them last. In other words, judges may give a speaker who went overtime any rank but the "1." ALL Events (including Impromtu and Extemp) will have a 30 second grace period. 

Elimination Rounds (as of entry numbers on Sept. 19th):

Keep in mind that these may change prior to Sunday due to significant drops or changes, etc.

The following events will be combined into one division: NDUO, NEXT, and NHI.

The following events will not have elimination rounds: NDI and ODUO.

The following events will break directly to a Final Round: NINF, NOI, NOO, ODI, OHI, OINF, OOI, and OPOI.

The following events will break to a Semifinal Round: NIMP, OEXT, OIMP, and OOO. Please note that should entries and judges warrant, we will break up to 18 to a Semifinal round.

All breaks and placement for this Tournament shall be cumulative across all rounds.
