After that time, all drops will be assessed a fee of $6.00
Scheduling:
We will be site scheduling this tournament, so please make all necessary changes to your registration on Speechwire until registration closes on Saturday morning. You may text any of your drops to Alex Carlson (651) 387-2914.
Entry Limits:
There are no entry limits for teams or categories.
Students may double enter in any category. Discussion will begin 15 minutes prior to first round to allow those students time to attend their second category. Discussion students may not double enter in a draw category.
Entry Fees:
$6.00 per entry (Duos count as 1 entry)
Checks can be made payable to "East Ridge Speech"
Judging Requirements:
Teams are required to bring 1 judge for every 7 entries. Additional judges will be available to hire for $90.00 if teams cannot meet this requirement. Please contact Alex Carlson as soon as possible if you anticipate you will need to hire a judge.
Tournament Format:
There will be three preliminary rounds of competition followed by a Final consisting of students who ranked 1-6 in prelims and an Honors Final consisting of students who ranked 7-12 in prelims. If there is a high number of entries in Humorous, Drama, Duo, or Original Oratory, there may be a third and fourth final added for contestants who ranked 13-18 and 19-24 in prelims (in order to give each of those students an NIETOC bid).
 NIETOC Bid Tournament:
The East Ridge Raptor Invitational is officially a bid tournament site for the National Individual Event Tournament of Champions. Students competing in Drama, Duo, Humorous, or Original Oratory have the ability to earn a bid that will get them one step closer to competing at the NIETOC Tournament in Lincoln, Nebraska from May 8-10, 2015. For more information visit their official website. (NOTE: Because we are an NIETOC qualification tournament, students are allowed to enter Prose or Poetry pieces in Drama.)
MSHSL Categories:

Extemp. Reading (Poetry): Stories 1-34
Storytelling: Stories 1-10
