Galena High School Virtual Tournament
General information This information is from a tournament in a past season! This is a High School tournament in Illinois. View manager contact information
Dear Speech Coaches,
Galena High School is excited to offer you a small school opportunity for competition.
DATE: Saturday, January 14, 2022
FORMAT: All Preliminary and Final Rounds will be Asynchronous.
STRUCTURE: We are currently planning to have 3 preliminary rounds (each single-judged on either Friday 1/13 or early on Saturday 1/14, and a final round that will be judged on Saturday at 11:00 AM. Final rounds will have three judges for varsity finals, and one judge for novice finals.
VIDEO SUBMISSION: Coaches will upload all student performance videos to their team SpeechWire account. Make sure that all videos are set to public or unlisted so that judges will be able to access them! All videos for this tournament should be recorded between Sunday 1/8 and Thursday 1/12.
SUBMISSION DEADLINES: Video submissions will need to be finalized by 10:00 pm on Thursday, January 12.
ENTRY: Feel free to enter as many speakers in each event as you like (your entry fee will be based on your total number of entries - see below). Team sweepstakes will be determined using your top two speakers in each event. Teams will register online using SpeechWire. Since we will be completely asynchronous, feel free to triple-enter students. But no quad’s, please. Because this is a tournament geared towards students who need some additional feedback, and who can't attend due to Illinois Theatre Fest, we don't care if you submit your entries AND attend a physical tournament this weekend.
JUDGES: Each team is expected to provide one qualified judge for every six entries. If you wish to bring extra entries, you will be asked to bring extra judges as well. Hired judges may be available at a cost of $100 per judge. Judging assignments will be done in the traditional manner via Speechwire. If you choose to hire fewer judges and simply have each of them judge more than three preliminary rounds, that is an option available to you. But please be aware that your requirements for the final round will be the same as always, so you may want to have more judges on virtual standby for that time.
FEES: 1 – 28 entries: $100 29 – 42 entries: $150 43 – 56 entries: $175 57+ entries: $200
Checks should be made payable to Galena High School

INDIVIDUAL EVENT RULES:
LIMITED PREP: All limited prep materials (Extemp questions, Impromptu topics, and Rado copy) will be sent electronically to coaches by 9:00 pm on Wednesday, 1/11. Students will then have 24 hours to prepare, record, and submit the video of their performance. We will ask limited prep speakers and coaches to use the honor system to adhere to traditional time allotments for preparation and speaking. The same video performance will be used for all three prelim rounds, as well as the final round.
DUETS: Your students may be in the same room when recording their duet!
