TIME: No contestants will be disqualified for time.  However, all times will be taken into consideration in ranking.  In the case of radio, those not making the time limits will be ranked last in the round.

RULES: All rules for the tournament will follow the 2015-2016 IHSA Rule Book.  Please allow, however, contestants participating in two events to alter their speaking order in one of their events.

SNACKS nachos, and snacks – candy, doughnuts, pop, chips, water – throughout the day.

PROSE &  Contestants should have one 8 minute program
POETRY:  selection according to IHSA rules

RADIO:   Radio speakers will have one 45-minute prep period.
