COVID RULE ADJUSTMENTS
VIDEOS Videos must be uploaded to YouTube as UNLISTED and the links added with the entry. All videos should be named with student’s LAST NAME ONLY and EVENT: Schanen, Radio. For OIL, and Storytelling, also include whether the video is prose, poetry or the story that they are telling: Schanen, OIL, Prose. This will make it easier for judges to know which video they are watching while judging. Please advise your students that the background, lighting, and sound quality will not be judged; however, they should try to find a quiet place to record. All videos must be done in a single take with no editing, single camera, single microphone. The same video performance will be used for all rounds, including finals.

At awards we will announce the top novice in each category. They will still be competing in the open division.
RULES In years past, our tournament has been attended by an even mix of schools from both major Wisconsin associations, as well as Illinois schools. Speech Bowl will employ the most current WFCA Handbook Rules with modifications: (Allowance of one 4x6 notecard in Oratory; 8-minute performances in OIL will not be penalized; 4-minute performances in Informative will not be penalized; Solo Actors will be allowed to use a chair.) WHSFA and IHSA teams are sincerely welcome and strongly encouraged to attend.

ENTRIES *NEW for 2021* - no tournament entry caps, and triple entries! Because of the virtual tournament nature, there will be no team or tournament entry caps this year! A school’s top 25 scoring entries will count toward Team Sweepstakes awards. A school's top four entries in an event will count toward Team Sweepstakes but more than four entries per event are welcome. Double and triple entries are allowed. Students in Radio, Extemp, and Impromptu are allowed to double/triple 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. ENTRY FEES Individual Entries (all events): 10.00 per entry Fees will be assessed at 5pm on Thursday February 18 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 requires four judges. Uncovered entries will be charged an additional 15.00 per entry. For example, two uncovered entries will be charged 30.00. This is an alternative to a flat hired judge fee and it will save your team money.
