ELIGIBILITY

PLATFORM

Online, TBD platform possibly through Speechwire

Information

This is an online High School tournament in Minnesota time zone.

We're online this year because everything is. Aside from that, our hope is to keep everything else the same. Schedule will feature three prelims, semifinals and finals in all events. Here are the highlighted items from the registration info page:

Events:
* Extemp will be split Domestic & International - students cannot compete in both due to schedue constraints.
* Impromptu (AFA format - see here for full instructions).
* Judges should provide speakers a 30 second grace period in all events.
* This is not an MSHSL or NSDA tournament so judges should just rank on quality of arguments and performances.

Double & Triple-entering:
* Students in draw events (DX, ER, IX, ST) and Discussion can be registered in one non-draw event as well but not two due to schedule constraints.
* Students can register in three non-draw events.
* Impromptu is not considered a draw event since it is an in-room draw event with a running clock.

Discussion:
* Discussion tasks will be released at the table.
* Tasks will be drawn from the second section of the outline.

Extemp Round themes will be emailed to coaches prior to the tournament.

Tournament format:
* Three prelims and then all events will break to Semifinals.
* Events with large entry pools will have three sections of Semifinals, advancing the top two from each to Finals.
* Events with smaller entry pools will have two sections of Semifinals, advancing the top three from each to Finals.

NIETOC Bids:
* All Semifinalists in DI, Duo, HI, Info, OO, & POI likely will earn bids.
* For more information about NIETOC, see NIETOC.com.

Waitlisting:
* Due to space constraints and our ambitious schedule, we may set caps on entries per event. Once an event reaches capacity, all additional entries will be put on waitlists.
* We'll monitor registration closely and make adjustments as needed to accept as many entries as possible off the waitlists.

Entry Price

One speech event $60
Two speech events $70
Three speech events $80
