AFA-NST District 5 Fall Qualifier
General information This information is from a tournament in a past season! This is a College tournament in Illinois. View manager contact information Hello District 5!
It is my pleasure to invite you to the Fall AFA NST District 5 Qualifier, which will be held on Saturday November 12, 2022, virtually, CST. I encourage you to attend this tournament as either an AFA qualifier, an NFA qualifier, or as an excellent opportunity to see good competition and support the teams of District 5! I am posting many important reminders in this announcement from the AFA NST Invitation as well as from the tournament director. ENTRY DEADLINE for Districts: Entries are due at 5:00 p.m., CST, Tuesday, November 8. Please enter using the Speechwire website. All fees will be assessed at noon on Wednesday, November 9. Please remember that each school may enter up to five competitors in each of the eleven events. Events already qualified at-large should not be entered. Some schools may still need to submit their payment for the Fall District tournament. ENTRY FEES: In an effort to keep tournament costs to a minimum, each slot will cost $5.00. Each uncovered slot will cost $10.00 (to cover hired judge fees). Each judge covers 6 slots. Student drops after noon, Wednesday, November 9 will be $10.00. Judge drops will be $25.00. Student drops at registration will be $20.00 and judge drops will be $75.00. Each student may enter up to two events per flight pattern. IMPORTANT NOTE: Because the tournament has been condensed to one day, it will actually run with TWO patterns. We will condense the patterns listed above into two flights, attempting to minimize the number of quadruple-entered competitors. What is listed here may change to accommodate entries, so please tell your students to check their Speechwire schedules Friday night. E-BALLOTS: We will be utilizing Speechwire's E-ballot function. Please update your judges' info. We will be using Speechwire for entries, scheduling, and tabulation. Also, because of the virtual nature of the tournament, please be sure that all of your students have activated Speechwire accounts and are listed in your Team Roster. These items are due by the District tournament (submit via email to jrstanley@noctrl.edu): At-Large Qualification Form(s) You can find important AFA NST information (tournament invitation, purchasing your AFA membership, bylaw changes) and forms (All-American, student verification) here: https://sites.google.com/site/afanietnew2/ . We recommend that you use this tournament as a reminder to pay your D5 dues (the price goes up on Dec 1). At-Large Qualification: Please keep a complete record of all necessary data required on the At-Large Qualification Form. The At-Large Qualification Form is available at the site above. A separate form should be kept for each of your students. Remember that the At-Large Qualification Form must be submitted before or at the District tournament to: jrstanley@noctrl.edu. District Qualification: The top three placements automatically qualify for the AFA-NST. If an event receives its second leg to qualify at-large, the District automatic qualification will move down to the next highest placing entry. General Overall Reminders: 1. You only need two legs (combined no worse than a five) to qualify for the AFA-NST. 2. Legs can be earned at synchronous or asynchronous tournaments. 3. The number of entries for what counts as a leg include- 1st: 2-3 entries, 2nd: 4-5 entries, 3rd: 6-7 entries, 4th 8-9 entries; 5th: 9-11 entries, and 6th: 12 or more entries. 4. The 2023 AFA-NST will be in person in Santa Ana, CA Please let me know if you have any other questions! Thank you!
