Our resident Extemp Room runner (Mr. Corkery) will not be around on Sunday, but would like to remind students of the following:

1. Try to keep switching speaker order to a minimum. The large event size makes it hard -- if you can speak in the order listed, please try to do so.

2. We will accommodate if you communicate. Don't worry. If you give a speech in your other event, and you are late to Extemp, like always, we will accommodate. Communicate. To the Extemp proctor, to the judges in Extemp, and to the judges in your other event.

3. DO NOT speak in a room that is not your panel/section. Double check before you draw and before you walk over! In the last 8 years of CVFL, we've been able to limit this major mistake. Let's keep Mr. Corkery's streak going!
