The top 7 students from preliminary competition will advance to the final round in each event. The top 3 students in the final round of competition will advance to the MSHSL Class AA State Speech Tournament to be held at Wayzata High School on Saturday April 18, 2020.  

Team Arrival at Tournament: Please arrive between 1:15 and 1:45 PM so that registration can be completed by 3:00 PM. All teams should have their busses drop them off at the main entrance to Roseount High School. Students and coaches should congregate in the student commons until the school day is out. Students should use the cafeteria as a place to congregate throughout the evening in between rounds of competition. 

Team Registration: Registration will take place outside of RHS Main Office just as you enter thru the main doors. It is critical that you call in all changes to Chris McDonald by 2:30 p.m; a call from the bus would be optimal to faciliate the scheduling process.

Draw/Prep Room: All draw events and preparation for those events will take place in the Rosemount HS Library/Media Center. 

Ballot Drop/Tab Room: Tab room location to be determined. I will send you a message about where we will be tabulating when we get closer to the tournament. 

Timers: Every school is required to provide the section with at least 1 timer to be used during the course of the section tournament. All official timers will be paid $35.00 for the day of timing by Section 3AA. All schools should send the name of their timer to Chris McDonald no later than Monday, March 2nd so that payment can be processed in a timely manner. You can email the names of your timers to chris.mcdonald@district196.org Please remind all timers that they will need to bring 2 forms of ID with them to the tournament (a Drivers License or Passport, and their Social Security Card) in order to process payment.
