If you cannot get a clean judge, please let me know because I may be able to work something out! Each student may only compete in up to 3 events. Fees will need to be sent to Carole Bennett via check or Paypal. Contact her at cabennet@oaklandcc.edu for directions. Coaches will need to create a team account on Yaatly if one does not already exist. Please email the organization name to Ryan @ rsrigda@svsu.edu after it is created. If you are joining via cellphone, articipants may need to download zoom app before the tournament to ensure participation in the workshops. Clean judges should not have taught nor coached your students in any way. Additionally, judges must not have competed in the last 2 years. Please let us know of any other judging conflicts. Judges must possess a baccalaureate degree or its equivalent or have completed four (4) years of collegiate competition. Judges who cannot judge may be asked to help w/tab & more.
ELIGIBILITY: Anyone who is an undergraduate (has not received a BA or a BS degree) can compete. We are attempting to make this a ‘newer’ student tournament. So, while your students do not need to be novices, they should not be seasoned veterans who have mastered the event. However, if you have an interpretation student who hasn’t tried impromptu yet, have them try it here. If you have a second-year student who didn’t compete in an event, or who didn’t compete well in an event, have them try it here! AWARDS: Certificates will be e-mailed to the top six persons in each event, and they will be announced at the conclusion of the event via e-mail.
EVENT DESCRIPTIONS IMPROMPTU - Each contestant will receive quotations, editorial cartoons or objects, and they will have seven minutes to divide between preparation and speaking. It is suggested that the contestant's speaking time be at least three minutes. Judges usually expect an introduction, body, and conclusion.

Visuals may or may not be used to supplement and/or reinforce the message. The speech should be delivered from memory.
