    DEADLINE
    18 April 2021
    ELIGIBILITY
    Open to 6th-8th graders
    PLATFORM
    Online through Speechwire

    Information

    ​This is an online Middle School tournament in Nebraska time zone. 
     

    You are invited to attend the Millard North Mustang Middle School Invitational. We are hosting on Friday April 23rd this year.  Any student enrolled in 6th through 8th hour is eligible to compete.
     
    THIS IS A FULLY REMOTE TOURNAMENT. I WILL SEND LOTS OF INFORMATION ABOUT HOW THIS WORKS CLOSER TO THE DATE, BUT WE HAVE DONE IT ALL SEASON IN HIGH SCHOOL AND IT IS NOT DIFFICULT FOR STUDENTS OR JUDGES. STUDENTS MUST ACTIVATE THEIR ACCOUNTS WITH SPEECHWIRE.
     
    Events: All students may double enter, no triple entries are allowed. HI, DI, Oratory, Declamation, Extemp and Impromptu.
     
    Time Limits: HI, DI, OO, DEC, POE time limit is 8 min max. Duet is 10 min max. EXT max is 5 min and IMP max is 4 min. 
     
    Extemp Prep: We will be allowing computers in extemp prep per the high school NSAA rules. Obviously we cannot monitor internet use in a remote tournament - so it is open internet access. And they MUST have their cameras ON in the prep room.  
     
    Format: We will be hosting three preliminary rounds of competition and then awards. There will not be a finals round.
     
    Awards: We will be providing each student who places with a custom laptop sticker and a nice certificate - these will be mailed out after the tournament 
     
    Judging: Judges may be qualified varsity members from high school teams, but please make sure you train them on how to judge every event,  and stress the importance of lots of positive feedback and constructive criticism. Make sure they are trained on the norms of the event and understand how to judge.

    ​Entry Price
