The OU Tournament will not charge entry fees. On Saturday, the tournament will offer Open and Novice in all NFA IEs. The tournament offers two rounds and finals in all Open IE divisions and Novice divisions (for Ohio competitors only). On top of all of that, we will be concurrently hosting the Ohio Forensics Association Novice State Championships on Friday and Saturday. OFA Novice will be hosted asynchronously except for Novice IPDA Debate. On Sunday, the Ohio University Speech and Debate Alumni will be hosting an additional tournament. You will find all of the necessary tournament information enclosed in this invitation, including a tournament schedule, event rules, and entry information. We wish we could see you face to face in lovely Athens, Ohio. If you have questions regarding the tournament, please contact Jennifer Talbert at 216.410.0041 (cell) or email jtalbert@ohio.edu.

Tournament Information Events: NFA event rules apply for all individual events. Due to the fact that we are not charging fees, we are placing a cap of 6 entries per event. Individuals may enter no more than three events in each pattern. Students who are entered in more than one event in any pattern are responsible for checking in with their judge prior to the start of each round. Judges will not wait for contestants longer than the scheduled times. The following individual events will be offered: Pattern A Pattern B Extemporaneous Speaking Impromptu Speaking Persuasive Speaking Informative Speaking Duo Interpretation Prose Interpretation Programmed Oral Interpretation Poetry Interpretation Dramatic Interpretation After Dinner Speaking Rhetorical Criticism Entry Deadline: The deadline for all entries will be Tuesday, January 26, 2021 at 5:00 p.m. Late adds and drops will incur a $10 per change fee. Drops on the day of the tournament will be assessed as $25/slot. Judges: Each school is required to provide one judge for every six individual events entries. Judges cannot cover entries for both the IIET and the OFA tournaments. Please attempt to cover your judging obligation; we would rather have your judges than your money. Dropped judges the day of the tournament will incur a $100 nuisance charge in addition to uncovered judging fees. Fees: Entry fees are free for both halves of the tournament. Uncovered fees are $10 per uncovered slot. Schools MUST cover their Debate entry. Awards: Certificates will be awarded to all finalists in all events. Sweepstakes Awards will be awarded to the top three Open Entry Schools. Individual Sweepstakes awards will also be announced for the top competitors entered in four or more events. Sweepstakes will be based on points from the final rounds for Individual Events and out rounds of Debate for 1st half of tournament. Sweepstakes for the Alumni Tournament (2nd) half will be calculated based on only Individual Events Final Rounds. To be eligible for overall sweepstakes, a school does not have to compete in the debate portion of the tournament. The top six speakers at the tournament will receive the following points: 1st = 12 2nd = 10 3rd = 8 4th = 6 5th = 4 6th = 2 Entries: Please register for the tournament at speechwire.com.
