Scheduling:
Make all necessary drops to your registration on Speechwire by Saturday 8am. Text Bob French (507-450-6884) when your team entries are complete. Please use this format for the text: "
Awards:
There will be team sweepstakes awarded to the large and small school winners. Individual awards will also be given for the Finalists and Next-In Finalist (if held) in each category.
We will also be awarding a Quality Team Champion. To be considered for this award, a school must have a minimum of five category entries (not quantity of students). Calculations will be based on a school's sum of preliminary round results (1st = 6 pts, 2nd = 5 pts, etc) divided by number of team's entries into the categories. For example if Hogwarts has 27 entries and score 315 pts, their Quality score would be 315/27 = 11.67. This is being done to balance the Quality of the speaker vs. the Quantity of the entries brought to a tournament.
Please contact Amy (507-450-2690) or Bob if you have any questions. We look forward to a great tournament!
