General information This information is from a tournament in a past season! This is a High School tournament in Illinois. View manager contact information September 17, 2019
Dear Speech Coaches,
This is the part of a tournament invitation in which the coaches usually try to write something witty and clever, welcoming you all back to yet another season and attempting to entice you to come to their tournament. But with the flurry of invitations coming out at breakneck speed this year, it appears there is no time for such creativity and warmth. So let’s dispense with the pleasantries and get right to the point, shall we? Great; here we go.

STRUCTURE: Two flighted preliminary rounds (one being double-judged), and varsity and novice finals. Round 1A competition will begin at 8:00; Radio and Extemp are B events, so prep will begin at 8:30 and 8:45, respectively. Please plan to arrive no later than 7:30.
