Other information:

 

1)  Please respond on Speechwire as soon as possible.

 

2)  Please mail a check or bring one made out to WVHS  for the following amounts:

 

Up to 1 entry per event (or 1-14 entries total) - $100 (and 3 judges)

Up to 2 entries per event (15-28) - $125 (and 4 judges) 

Up to 3 entries per event (29-42) - $150 (and 5 judges) ***THIS IS THE DEFAULT OPTION (We will give additional entries to schools that offer us the same)***

Up to 4 entries per event (43- 56) - $200 (and 6 judges)

 

 

3)      Judging needs are listed above.  Bring your own stopwatches.  Radio Speaking judges will need to time their own rounds.  Please make certain your judges know how Impromptu runs.  All judges must wait for all finals' assignments to be posted before leaving. Even if there are drops, you are still required to provide the judges from the original confirmed entry. 

 

4)      Radio and Extemp will prep once for the prelims and once again for finals. (*We may do 30-minute preps for Extemp.)

 

5)      Rank alone will be used to advance individuals to finals. Fewer than 6 may be advanced to keep the final round below nine participants.  Judges' preferences will be used to break ties in finals.  Team awards will be given to the top 3 teams in the sweepstakes, based on prelims only for each school's top 2 entries as listed by the head coach.  Head coaches should fill out the rosters on SpeechWire ahead of time.   

6)      Lastly, on Friday, January 12, by noon, please confirm final numbers in each event in Speechwire.  I will NOT add entries past that time. Once the tournament is scheduled after Friday's confirmation, rounds will NOT be balanced because of drops. Any drops made past noon will not affect judge numbers. After noon, you are still required to bring the number of judges from original confirmation.

 

7)      Please take no offense, but tab room is run by invitation.
