    Information

    ​This year will be wildly different! So, here is the plan/schedule:

    Any memorized events will need to be uploaded by Sunday, November 15th at 11.59 pm. Those events will be assigned judges and judged over the week. Students may enter as many events as they wish. Extemp will be "live" on Friday using the (tentative) schedule below.

    Resolved: The United States ought to provide a federal jobs guarantee.

    Public Forum

    NLD + 2 Speech $65
    NLD + 3 Speech $70

    If you don't provide a judge, you will pay an additional $110.
    Each person in a PF team would be responsible of providing their own judge, so one PF team would need to either provide two judges, both pay the judge fee, or one of each option.


    Registration will not be complete until payment is received.
     
    NOTE: We will charge set up fees if we have to create tabroom.com accounts for judges. It is recommended you do so on your own.

    ASYNCHRONOUS PREPARED EVENTS

    Participants will submit one video link per entry that will be used for the entire tournament. Please ensure that YouTube links are marked unlisted, and if using Google Drive, Dropbox, etc. permissions are set so that anyone with the link can view.
    ​

    ​JUDGE PROVISION
    Signing up a judge without having a Tabroom account will result in us charging you for the set up fee. You can do this easily on your own by going to tabroom.com. It takes two minutes.

    Speech judges should be ready if asked to judge pre-recorded events on Nov 19-20.
