Competition Rules: Competitors will provide videos of their performances which will be judged asynchronously.
How to provide your video? Our individual events tournament will be conducted asynchronously. Students should record their video, then upload it to their own private (or a team) YouTube channel. Once uploaded, students can adjust the video setting to “unlisted.” This will make the video un-searchable, but still viewable to anyone with the link (url.)
We will be using AFA (NST) standards for videos. We are following identical asynchronous tournament procedures held by OATS (Online Asynchronous Tournament Series), where students maintain an "honor system" for recording LP events.
When registering for the tournament, Speechwire will provide a space to enter a student name and event. After inputting entries, you can provide links to videos under the “links” tab on Speechwire’s main menu.
When judges receive their dance cards / eballots, those links will be provided to them.
These links will also be provided to other competitors in the round. Due to privacy concerns, only judges and students participating in a specific round will have access to video links for that round. Please do not share these links out of respect for the performers.
The same video will be used for all rounds: 2 preliminary rounds and finals - including limited preparation speech events. Randy Perez Mailing address
