Robin Whited Memorial Speech Tournament 
 
December 17, 2022
 
Columbus East High School
230 S. Marr Rd
Columbus, IN  47201
 
**The Columbus East Speech Team honors the memory of Ms. Robin Whited (d. 12/7/2019), former speech and debate coach at Columbus East, English department chair, and champion of student voices through forensic competition. A tireless advocate for students, for peace, for justice, and for equity and equality, we should all strive to live the example of her life. Her death leaves a significant void, but her memory will live on through this tournament and through the lives of the thousands she has taught and coached.**
 
Time:  First round of Discussion and Extemp Rd 1 draw at 8:30am EST. All other events start at 9:00am EST. (Schedule subject to change)
Format:  Four straight rounds of competition
 
Events offered:  Broadcasting, Discussion, Declamation, USX, IX, Dramatic, Humorous, Impromptu, Prose, Poetry, Original Oratory, Original Performance, Duo Interp, Informative, and POI. 
 
DOUBLING permitted in all events, except Discussion. Doubling in both extemps is also not permitted. Discussion rounds should be 60 minutes. Doublers in Broadcasting should go to broadcasting FIRST.  Doublers in Impromptu should go to impromptu LAST.  All doublers double at their OWN RISK! We will not re-run rounds. 
 
Discussion artifacts will be released the Monday before the meet on Speechwire.
 
Extemp will draw all four rounds.
 
Radio information:  Rd. 1 Newscast; Rd. 2 Editorial; Rd. 3 OTS; Rd. 4 Newscast. Newscast should be five minutes, prepared ahead, and contain a commercial.

Team information:  Teams may bring a maximum of 40 total entries to the meet, with a maximum of five (5) entries per event. Schools may bring ONLY one team. 
 
Judges:  Please provide one judge for every five (5) entries or fraction thereof.  Five (5) entries=1 judge; ten (10) entries=2 judges; eleven (11) entries=3 judges. 
 
Concessions will be available throughout the day.  Please feel free to eat with us, as fast food is at least a mile away and we will need help defraying the costs of running the meet. The concession stand has traditionally been SOUP-er. I'm sure it will be the same again this year.
 
Ribbons will be awarded for the top 6 in each event, with sweepstakes points as follows:  1st-10pts, 2nd-9pts, 3rd-8pts, etc.  Trophies will be awarded to the top 8 entered schools based on total sweeps.
 
Registration will be through SpeechWire.
 
Deadline for entry submissions—Wednesday, December 14, 2022, at 6pm.
 
All questions about this meet should be directed to Matt Rothrock (cehs.speech@gmail.com).  Or call Matt's cell—(812) 343-7533. 
 
We look forward to seeing you on December 17, 2022!! We were sad to not be able to host our tournament on the weekend before Sectionals, but the building angels wouldn't permit it. 
 
Thanks,
 
Matt Rothrock and Anna Carmon
Coaches--Columbus East High School
