In order to offer the most NIETOC bid numbers, we are keeping just one division.
With a socially distanced sized tournament, we will, virtually with Duo/Duet being asynchronous. We will Varsity Final rounds as well as a Novice level Final Round; a novice is defined as a student who has not competed in forensics invitational competition before August, 2020.

Extemp prep is only 30 minutes this year to eliminate round overlap and put the tournament behind.

We will offer Champs finals for all events with additional final rounds as entries allow. All finalists will be recognized. There will be a triathlon award for those who are triple or quad entered.
JUDGES: You must furnish one judge for every 6 entries or part thereof (Example: 6 entries = 1 judge; 7 entries = 2 judges) OR pay $15.00 per slot you haven’t covered. (Example: 7 entries. Furnishing one judge means you owe an extra $15.00 for each uncovered slot in addition to the $8 entry fee for those entries.) Remember, if you want to judge you count as one judge. All judges must be available for finals. If a judge misses any judging assignment, including finals, the sponsoring team will be assessed a $15 penalty. Please have stopwatches for all your judges. We will make every attempt to double up judges during one round of competition to provide 3 ballots for students. The ability to do this is dependent on you bringing your required judges.
