Colorado Grande NSDA Rules
General information This information is from a tournament in a past season! This is a High School tournament in Colorado. View manager contact information November 2020 Dear Colleagues: This letter shall serve as your invitation to the NSDA Rules Tournament which will be held online on December 5, 2020. Registration will open on speechwire on November 16, 2020. Extemp and debate will be held synchronously, and all other events will be held asynchronously; DUO must be split screen recordings, and PF students must be on separate screens (we recommend separate spaces as well to conform to health guidelines). Deadlines: Register on speechwire.com by 10 p.m. December 1. Because of the synch/asynch combo of this tournament, we are just doing one registration deadline; what is registered on December 1 is what you will pay for. Because this is practice for NSDA Quals, you MUST enter titles and authors for interp students and TOPICS for OO and INFO. Do NOT forget this step, and it MUST be done when you register your students, so be sure you are getting their titles and authors now. For asynch events, video links are also due by 10 p.m. on December 1. To submit video links, when you go to the tournament registration page for NSDA Rules, click on “Video Links.” PLEASE be sure you are submitting either an unpublished youtube link OR a google link with permissions set to “everyone on the internet with the link can view.” Any missing links or unviewable links risk being dropped from the tournament. Doubling: Students may compete in a max of two events with the following limitations: students may do ONE debate (LD or PF); students may do ONE extemp (USX or FX); students may do ONE solo interp (DI, HI, POE, or POI); students may do ONE prepared speech (OO or INF). Note: we are offering the NSDA Supplemental events of Poetry and Storytelling this year. We will use CHSAA rules for Poetry. Storytelling will be a prepared event so will use the format below. Fees: PF teams- $15.00; LD- $15.00; DI, HI, OO, US, IX, INFO, POI, POE, and Storytelling- $10.00; DUO-$15, Please make checks out to Colorado Grande NSDA. Remember, your school dues need to be paid to the NSDA for you to come to this tournament, but as it is so early in the year, individual students do NOT have to be members yet. Committee Decision: As you know, we need coaches to run meets. We understand that December Saturdays are at a premium, but due to liability and other issues, your students cannot attend if you or another OFFICIAL coach from your school isn’t available that day.While we will need fewer people in Tab, each school will need a coach who is easily available throughout the day. Registration: Registration will take place from 7:15 to 7:30. Schedule: WSD will be held on November 17 and Congress on December 10; invitations for those tournaments have been sent out seperately. There will be no final rounds at this tournament.
Judges: PLEASE, if they are willing, enter your judges’ phone numbers in Speechwire. This will help with us getting ahold of them if necessary. Here’s the bottom line:
Rules: Please remind your students that the rules for NSDA are different. That’s why we have a practice tournament. The major differences are highlighted below: 1. Ups and downs for rounds 1 and 2 are posted, but no students are eliminated, so ALL students will compete in three rounds. 2. Extempers may NOT use a notecard. Extempers may use the internet but may not use pre-written speeches or outlines or anything that has been written by the studets. 3. Interps, OO and INFO must be memorized=no scripts! The cutting may come from only one source. 4. POI students must have a full, printed bibliography. Topics:
Connectivity: We will do what we can to accommodate connectivity issues, but if you can’t be connected to the round, a loss may be issued. Let me know of questions! Renee Motter, Colorado Grande NSDA Chair Prepared Storytelling Rules

Write a story based on an experience from your childhood... but set it in a different time period. (Yes, the future counts!)
