EVENTS
------
Demonstration, Duo, Extemp, Farrago, Four-Min, Group Interp, Moments, Impromptu, Oral Interp, Oratory, Play acting, Poetry, Prose, Public Address, Radio, Solo-Serious, Solo-Humorous, Special Occasion, Storytelling. *Note, we’ve added Impromptu this year. Impromptu will be run as a regular event, not as a consolation event.
ENTRIES
-------
There are no limits on the number of entries a team can bring. There are no limits on the number of entries a team can enter in a given event. There is no cap on the total size of the tournament. Double entries are allowed; however, students participating in Play acting are limited to one entry. Students in Radio, Extemp, and Impromptu are allowed to double enter, but students in radio and extemp should compete in those respective events first in a given round. A student cannot double enter in both radio and extemp, but can double enter with radio and impromptu, or extemp and impromptu. A school’s top 25 scoring entries will count toward Team Sweepstakes awards.
ENTRY FEES
----------
Individual Entries: 8.00; Playacting, Duo, Group Interp 12.00
JUDGES
------
Each school is required to supply one trusted judge for every five entries, or portion thereof. For example, fifteen entries require three judges. Sixteen entries require four judges. Uncovered entries will be charged an additional 10.00 per entry. For example, two uncovered entries will be charged 20.00. This is an alternative to a flat hired judge fee and will save your team money.
JUDGES LOUNGE
-------------
The lounge, open to all judges, coaches, and bus drivers, is located in Hyland Hall 2001. Coffee and soda will be available in the lounge.
AWARDS
------
Individual trophies will be presented to the top three competitors in each category. Medals will be awarded to all other championship round participants. Team sweepstakes trophies will be awarded to the top two scoring schools overall in each division, large and small.

Unfortunately, changes cannot be made to the boxed lunch order after that date/time.
There are no off-campus dining options within walking distance of Hyland Hall. We strongly encourage teams to stay on campus during the day. Due to University dining contracts, we cannot offer concessions at the tournament, therefore, boxed lunches can only be ordered in advance. On tournament day, boxed lunches will be distributed at the University Center, located next to Hyland Hall. Teams should plan on eating lunches at the University Center.
