Wheeling: Welcome to the Jungle!
General information This information is from a tournament in a past season! This is a High School tournament in Illinois. View manager contact information Dearest Coaches,
We are extremely excited to invite you to our annual Wheeling High School Tournament! It is our "Welcome to the Jungle" warm up tournament to welcome brand-new novices and JV competitors to this thing we call Speech. Please note the start time is EIGHT (8)am!
DATE: Saturday, November 5th, 2016
Schedule: We start late! Each student will speak 3 times (single-judged rounds only) and there will NOT be finals. Awards will ideally begin around 130pm. We've started even sooner.
FORMAT AND ENTRIES: Teams are invited to enter up to 3 entries in each event. Since it is early in the season, we are inviting novice and JV speakers to participate (students will compete in combined rounds). Students can be single or double entered ONLY. If a triple entered student is discovered at any point, he/she will be disqualified FROM THE TOURNAMENT (not just one event). Also, be cool~ this is designed to welcome novice newbies and second year JV, not so much any year state-qualifiers or third/fourth year kids.
AWARDS: Individual awards will be a massive debacle based on the fact that there are not finals... it should be a lovely opportunity for lots of people to take home some hardware and go home happy! :) Team awards will based on the top competitor in each event, be they novice or JV.
RULES: To help new Extempers, we will have Extemp prep ONCE and use the speech each round. Radio speakers should come with a prepared script, including commercial, no more than 24 hours old. We will follow IHSA rules on all other events. With the exception of Radio, there will be NO penalties for time unless it is extreme & affects the quality of the piece; please emphasize this to your judges, too! :)
Entry fees and judges: Make checks payable to Wheeling High School Speech Team. To accomodate smaller teams, we have created a variety of fee/judge requirements: Up to 5 entries $75 Bring 1 judge Up to 14 entries $100 Bring 2 judges Up to 28 entries $150 Bring 4 judges Up to 42 entries $200 Bring 5 judges
We are aware that we are one of the only tournaments scheduled for this weekend; in order to accommodate a greater number of schools, we will be FIRM in limiting entries per school to 3 in each event. Registration will be open until Tuesday, October 22nd OR when we hit 25 schools, whichever comes first. After that date, your team cost is fixed, regardless of later drops.
We are looking forward to seeing you! If you have any questions, please email me at jessica.macieje@d214.org, which I prefer and will get to more quickly. You can also try me at school 847-718-7286 or on my cell at (847) 347-4388.
Most Enthusiastically,
Jessica Maciejewski, WHS
