The fee is $3.50/competitor, with each duo entry being $7.00.  Please, no double entries!

Entry deadline:

Please submit your initial entries by 3 pm Monday, February 9.  Fees will be set at that time, with the sole addition of any adds made afterwards.  Please make adds/drops throughout the week when you know of them.  PLEASE make any last-minute changes on Speechwire BEFORE you leave school on Thursday afternoon to travel to South St Paul.

 

Special category-specific  instructions:  

Discussion:  Tasks will come from part II of the outline, Cultural and Social Impacts.

DRAW EVENTS:We will hold draws for rounds 2 and 3, but come prepared with a speech/story/cutting of your choice for round 1.

Extemp reading draws will come from stories 1-10 and poems 1-25.

Storytelling draws will come from stories 1-10.

 

FOOD:

A concession stand will be available with a variety of food, including pizza. Please ask students to come primarily with small bills, preferable ones and fives.

 

JUDGES:

Your school must provide one judge for every six entries or fraction thereof.  Please indicate each judge's preference as you enter them on speechwire. If you forget, I will change their preference to EITHER.  Experienced senior high speech team members may be used as judges.  I might ihave a handful of extra judges available, but let me know in advance.  The cost for a judge is $60.  There will be a lounge for coaches and judges in our FACS room, A149.

 

ARRIVAL:

We have construction going on, so parking is more limited than usual. School lets out at 2:35, and the parking lot is pretty crazy untl 2:45. I would advise NOT arriving until after that time. It is in large part due to our parking lot situation that we are not starting draws until 3:30, with round 1 at 4:00.
