• Done through Speechwire, Please have your competitors and judges entered before 5:00 pm CST on Wednesday, November 19th.,
• Final Registration will be Saturday morning beginning at 7:15 am through 8:00 am. In case of inclement weather, I will try to
notify head coaches as soon as I know if there is a delay or cancellation, so please, as part of your registration, include a
reliable contact number.
• The number to text with drops is (219) 363-8226 or, if possible, send an email to jwszolek@lpcsc.k12.in.us. Since, I'll ask you to confirm you competitors and
judges when you arrive, if you don't text drops in advance, it shouldn't be that bad.
• Please be aware, we will have team rosters with correct codes for the competitors on the morning of the tournament; these may be
different from those on Speechwire Friday night.
Entry Details:
• We will have varsity and novice divisions but may combine these in some events depending on the numbers;
• There is a limit of forty entries in total per team: You may enter a B or non-sweeps squad of no more than 12 entries;
• No more than four entries per event per division. If we have to combine events or divisions due to low numbers, this will not apply
to those events but will still apply to the divisions;
• Please bring one judge for every five entries or fraction thereof (so 6 entries = 2 judges)Also, please record the head coach as the first judge
entered on the entry.
• Unless otherwise stated below, competitors may double, but no tripling;
• Event specific details:
o Discussion may not double. We will follow the Socratic Seminar format. Prompts and artifacts will be available on Monday, the 17th.
o Extemp may double in impromptu only. Questions will be drawn from Time, Newsweek, The Economist, and Christian Science
Monitor. The competitors will draw before Rounds 1 & 3. If numbers are small, DX and FX may be combined and then separated
