ROUND ROBIN INVITATION: The Round Robin is a tournament in which students apply to compete in head to head competition (2-person rounds) among other nationally ranked competitors to showcase a selected speech event. Additionally, there is a cross-examination period for all events that allows students time to examine competitor’s argumentation, content, context, blocking, interpretation choices, etc. The goal is for all competitors to engage in critical co-inquiry and dialogue in the forensics arts.
In order to compete in the Round Robin you must be formally invited after your application is received. *This application is due Thursday, Nov. 1st 2018 no later than 5:00pm. *All students (accepted or not accepted) will be notified by Nov.10, 2018. *Then students and coaches must both sign the acknowledgement form and return it by no later than November 15, 2018 so offers can be extended to other applicants if you are unable to attend.
The application pages enclosed should be completed electronically. A scanned copy with signatures must be e-mailed to Round-Robin Director Andrew Eilola at reilola@gmu.edu no later than 5:00pm Thursday Nov.1, 2018.
Extemporaneous Speaking
Interpretation Performance (HI, DI, Prose, Poetry, POI are all allowed, but not Duo)
Public Address (OO, INFO) This year the Round Robin will feature a public address portion to the tournament. Students will compete in head-to-head competition against each of the other PA competitors followed by a 3-minute cross-examination period after each speech. The time limit will be 10 minutes and will follow NSDA rules and guidelines. Speeches should include multiple credible sources and be memorized. Students should come to the tournament with a hard copy of their speech and a bibliography for the sources they cite. The competitor does not have to perform the same selection in every round; for example, a competitor may shift between Original Oratory and an Informative Speech between rounds, but is certainly not required to change selections. Following the first presentation in the round, the second competitor will have up to 3 minutes to engage in open cross-examination concerning any aspect or aspects of the presentation they find relevant. Following the second performance, the first competitor will also have 3 minutes to engage in a similar cross-examination.
*You will find the application on the next page.
