Lopers are from venus
Cobbers are from Mars
November 8, 2012
Dear Earthlings,
The University of Nebraska Kearney and Concordia College are excited to host the 6th annual “Outer Limits Swing”, December 3rd and 4th in the twilight zone of Kearney, Nebraska. On Saturday the 1st, the UNK squad will host the “Lopers are from Venus” half of the swing following by the “Cobbers are from Mars” half on Sunday the 2nd. Both tournaments will be held on UNK’s campus.
We will offer competition in all eleven AFA events and appropriate elimination rounds. Ties in preliminary rank and rate will advance all tied competitors to the final round. First place will be awarded to the competitor with the lowest cumulative rank. Ties in finals will be broken on predominance of 1’s, judge’s preference, and finally rating points. Ties in team points and individual sweepstakes will be broken on numbers of finals followed by number of 1, 2, 3’s. Individual sweepstakes is open to any competitor who has four or more events.
We are adding a new tradition to our tournament. A traveling trophy will be awarded to the overall team sweepstakes champion.
Points for team and individual sweepstakes awards will be as follows: 10 for 1st, 8 for 2nd, 6 for 3rd, 4 for 4th, 2 for 5th, 1 for 6th. Ties in team sweepstakes and individual sweepstakes will be broken by number of finalists, then number of 1’s, 2’s, 3’s, etc.
ENTRY DEADLINE: Entries are due by Monday, November 26th by 5:00 p.m. Please submit your entries to www.speechwire.com. Look for the “Outer Limits Swing.” Please double-check to make sure you have registered for both halves of the swing. Fees will be assessed by the information we have available by Wednesday, November 28th at 12:00 noon. As always, we ask that you cover as many slots as possible with useable judges. Questions for the UNK half can be forwarded to Rachelle Kamrath at kamrathrl@unk.edu. Questions for the Concordia half can be forwarded to Megan Orcholski at morchols@cord.edu.
ENTRY FEES: $6.00 per slot. $12.00 per uncovered slot. We need your judges more than your money so please, please, please help us by bringing judges. Each judge covers 6 slots.
LUNCH FEES: It is important to us that your competitors are offered adequate sustenance. Therefore, we will add $3.50 per competitor/tournament to compensate for the food, drink, and paper products.
DROP/ADD FEES: A $10.00 fee will be charged for all changes made after Wednesday, November 28th at 12:00 noon. A $60 fee will be charged for any judge dropped at registration. Such changes make it difficult to run an efficient and timely tournament. Please try to communicate tournament entry changes before the day of the tournament.
DIRECTIONS: Tournament registration and ballot table will be held in the first floor hallway of Copeland Hall. A UNK campus map can be viewed at, http://www.unk.edu/about/fastfacts/index.php?id=339
DIRECTIONS TO UNK: All Kearney hotels are along Highway 44 near Interstate 80. Travel north on Hwy 44 (aka 2nd Ave.), over the viaduct and continue north until you reach the stoplights at Highway 30 (aka 25th St.). Turn left (west) and continue around a slight curve in the road until you reach Bruner Hall of Science. There you will find a visitor parking lot close to Copeland Hall. If this lot is full, continue driving west on Hwy 30 until you see a huge electronic message board. Turn right (north) and drive until you reach University Drive. Take another right and park in lot 32 – also near Copeland Hall. The campus map should clarify these directions.
