EXTEMPWireless Internet access has been requested and students may use the internet during extemp preparation. Recognizing internet access has drastically expanded the pool of information available to extemp speakers, Saturday’s Edna Sorber Tournament will experiment with unconventional topic areas. We understand students may possess limited background and existing research in these areas, therefore, the questions will be crafted with these factors in mind. Round 1: Sports issues (e.g. NCAA NIL) Round 2: LGBTQIA+ Final: Wisconsin (social and political)
Extemp prep will be located in a computer lab on both days so if a student experiences connection problems with their laptop or does not own one, access to a hard-wired computer will be available.
IMPROMPTUThe following prompts will be used for Impromptu. Saturday: Round 1: Traditional quotations. Round 2: Single word. Final: Feminist leaders

Semifinals will be held in events with greater than 60 entries (this amount may vary based on tournament director’s discretion).
