SpeechWire Tournament Services - Forensics Tournament Software

The Willowbrook High School Individual Events Speech Team cordially invites you to participate in our ninth Willowbrook Invitational on Saturday, January 19, 2013. As a coaching staff and team, we are extremely pleased to offer another tournament. Once again, this will be a warm, inviting tournament for all participants, and to allow some extra creativity, we will host Impromptu Duet Acting and Wretched Interp this year.

Entries, Fees and Judges:
Teams may enter 1, 2, or 3 speakers per event. Remember, at this point in the season, all speakers will be competing at the same level; in other words, we will not delineate between Novice and Varsity speakers. The entry fee is $150.00 for 32 or less entries. Please make checks payable to Willowbrook High School, c/o Brett Blair, IE Speech Team. Once checks are received, refunds will not be made. We will need 1 judge per 5 entries. Therefore, if you have a full team (32 entries), then we will need a maximum of 6 judges. If you have more than 32 entries, then please have the check made for $200.00. Receipt of your information will be confirmed via e-mail/SpeechWire, so please make sure you place your preferred e-mail address on the form.

Please e-mail or upload Extemp and Impromptu topics. We will not enter your extemp or impromptu speakers if we do not have topics.

Also, we will have Impromptu Duet Acting and Wretched Interp. You will be able to have your speakers triple enter only for Impromptu Duet Acting or WI. No speaker can triple enter in the IHSA events only, and no speaker can be in four events!!! We will disqualify ALL scores for that speaker, if we recognize a speaker in more than 3 events and/or if s/he is in 3 regular IHSA events. More details will be provided regarding the additional events. Improvisational Duet Acting may use two chairs as props. Also, the speakers will pick ONE topic. (We will not break ties for those who place 1st through 6th in IDA or WI.)

Awards:
Medals will be given to 1st through 6th place speakers and ribbons to finalists. Team awards will be based on preliminary rounds from first to sixth place. The team awards will be based on the top two competitors in each event from each team in preliminary rounds.
Lunch:
Lunch will be provided (pizza); however, there are several fast food restaurants on Roosevelt Road between Summit and Westmore-Myers. Please do not take the whole team off campus, for we will start Final Round earlier if we can.

Due Dates:
Please fill out entry information on SpeechWire by January 14th. Please forward your responses via e-mail (bblair@dupage88.net) or SpeechWire. Don’t forget to upload/e-mail your impromptu or extemp topics by 1/14/13. We are looking forward to seeing you on January 19, 2013.
