Welcome to the Naperville Central Tournament of Roses! Everything you need to know should be available on Speechwire, but if you need any additional assistance please email me at jslin@naperville203.org and I'll get back to you as quickly as possible.

General Info:  (THIS IS A TOTALLY LIVE, IN-PERSON TOURNAMENT)

  • Currently, the default entries will be that teams can go 3-deep (3 entries) per event.  If you need extra entries in specific events, please email me. Preference will be shown to schools who show NCHS the same courtesy.
  • Concessions will be open all day for breakfast and lunch. We will have vegetarian selections. (It will most likely be pizza and sandwiches again.)
  • Have your buses plan to drop students off in the bus circle by the football field (Porter Ave.) or door 1 (off Aurora Ave.), there is a circle turn-around for easy access. And drivers will be able to easily park in the lot. Buses must park at the auditorium (Corner of West & Hillside)
  • Ensure that you are prepared for inclement weather. If your team is unable to attend due to weather conditions please let me know as soon as possible. You will still be responsible for the number of judges you were to supply based on your original entries. If you are unable to send your judges I will supply them at a fee of $25 per round for the day.
  • Please be prepared for snow.
  • Ballots will be on paper.
