Entry Fees and Judges: Entry fees will be $8.00 per entry per tournament. Each school should provide one judge for every six entries. Uncovered entries will cost $10.00 per entry in one tournament in addition to the entry fee. We would rather have your judges than your dollars! All judges must be available to judge one round beyond the round in which their school's students are eliminated. Entry Deadlines: Entries must be entered via SpeechWire no later than 5 p.m., Monday, October 3. Entry fees will be assessed at 12:00 noon, Wednesday, October 5, after which time no refunds will be given. Any entries dropped after 12:00 noon on October 5 will be assessed the original fee plus a $10.00 per entry nuisance fee.

No additional entries will be accepted after the deadline. Entry changes can be made on SpeechWire, or if changes can no longer be made online, please contact Craig by phone or e-mail. Tabulation: Darren Epping, Assistant Director of Individual Events at Kansas State University, will be in charge of the tab room throughout the weekend. Team points will be awarded according to students’ placements in final rounds (10 points for first place, 8 points for second place, 6 points for third place, 4 points for fourth place, 2 points for fifth place, and 1 point for sixth place or lower). Students who wish to enter Individual Sweepstakes must compete in four events. Individual sweepstakes points will mirror the system for determining team sweepstakes points. Ties will be broken in the following manner: Speaker points will be used to determine who advances to a final round. Ties in both preliminary rank and rate mean that all tied contestants will advance so long as the events are tied for fifth seed or better. Ties in final rounds will be broken by judge’s preference followed by speaker points. Ties in team points and individual sweepstakes will be broken on number of finals followed by number of firsts, seconds, thirds, etc earned in final rounds. Awards: Bethel and K-State will present sweepstakes awards to the top three schools, awards to the top six finishers in each Individual Event, and awards to the top three individuals participating in four or more Individual Events. A Sunflower Swing sweepstakes award will be presented to the top student and school at both tournaments combined. Food Allergies: Breakfast items will be provided for all competitors, judges, and coaches at the tournament. Please contact Craig if anyone traveling with your squad has a food allergy that needs to be addressed prior to the introduction of these items to common areas. Adaptation for Physically Challenged Competitors: If anyone traveling with your squad has a physical disability or has concerns about accessibility or adaptations, please contact Craig.
