Dear Speech Coach,

You are cordially invited the Sixth Annual Oswego East Olympiad Speech Tournament to be held on Saturday, January 11th, 2014, at Oswego East High School.  All novice and Varsity members of your team are welcome to compete, but there will not be separate finals for each.  All 14 IHSA events will be featured and the tournament will follow IHSA rules.  We will take replies on a first-come-first-serve basis so please respond early to assure a spot for your team. 

ROSTERS: Please accept or decline the invitation to compete on www.speechwire.com or via email (nschremp1006@oswego308.org) prior to Friday, December 13th.

SCHEDULE: Each competitor will speak three times in single-judged rounds and there will be a finals round.  Here is our tentative schedule for the day:

6:45    Registration (LRC doors - at the top of the grand staircase)
7:15    Extemp and Radio Prep for Preliminary Rounds (LRC)
8:00    Preliminary Round I (All Events)
9:30    Preliminary Round II (All Events)
11:00  Preliminary Round III (All Events)
12:45  Extemp and Radio Prep for Finals (LRC)
1:30    Finals (All Events)
3:00    Awards (Performing Arts Center)

ENTRY FEES AND JUDGES: Make checks payable to: Oswego East High School
 
Up to 1 entry per event (or 1-14 entries total) – $100 (and 3 judges)
Up to 2 entries per event (15-28) - $125 (and 4 judges)
Up to 3 entries per event (29-42) - $150 (and 5 judges)
Up to 4 entries per event (43- 56) - $200 (and 6 judges)

JUDGES: Please have judges bring their own stop watches.  Please make certain your judges know how Impromptu Speaking runs. Please ask your judges to wait for all Finals assignments to be posted before leaving. Even if there are drops, you are still required to provide the judges from the original confirmed entry. Please pay attention to assignments.

TIMED PREP EVENTS: Radio and Extemp will prep once for prelims and once for finals.  Please stress the rules to your students.  They will be enforced.   If you have a student double-entered in Radio and Extemp, please indicate as such on the confirmation form.  Speechwire will schedule around it if we know in advance. We will be following the IHSA guidelines for Impromptu Speaking, where the speaker preps in the room for about two (2) minutes and speaks for five to six (5-6), making it a total of eight (8) minutes per speaker!

BREAKING TO FINALS/AWARDS: Rank alone will be used to advance individuals to Finals. Fewer than six (6) may be advanced to keep the Final round below nine (9) participants.  Judges’ preferences will be used to break ties in Finals.

TAB ROOM: Please take no offense, the tab room will be by invitation only. 

CONFIRMATION: Please confirm exact final numbers by Thursday, January 9th by noon via Speechwire or email; hopefully, I will hear from you twice to avoid the confusion of missing teams.  You may leave the numbers at my email address.  Once the tournament is scheduled after Friday’s confirmation, rounds will NOT be balanced because of drops. Any drops made past noon will not alter judge numbers. After noon, you are still required to bring the number of judges from original confirmation.

We are very excited to once again be hosting this tournament and we hope you are excited to attend!
