Purdue Boiler Brawl
General information This information is from a tournament in a past season! This is a College tournament in Indiana. View manager contact information Dear Forensics Community,
The C. Richard Petticrew Speech and Debate team at Purdue University cordially invites you to join us January 19, 2020 for the Purdue Boiler Brawl on Butler University’s campus in Indianapolis, Indiana. This tournament will be held in conjunction with the Butler University’s Bulldog Battle.
We will offer all 11 NFA individual events and the Indiana State Experimental Events Radio and Public Narrative. Radio and Extemp will run concurrently so students may enter one or the other. Tabulation and event rules will follow NFA guidelines. We will also be observing the NFA Open Door Policy, which allows students to discreetly excuse themselves at any time in the middle of a round if they feel their mental wellbeing is/will be compromised by a performance without performative penalty.
We look forward to seeing everyone in January!
Best Wishes,
Sean O'Reilly & Teresa Kubiak

Indiana State Experimental Events:
Public Narrative: Public narrative is the “why” of organizing—the art of translating values into action through stories. From stories we learn how to manage ourselves, how to face difficult choices, unfamiliar situations, and uncertain outcomes, because each of us is the protagonist in our own life story, facing everyday challenges, authoring our own choices, and learning from the outcomes. But stories not only teach us how to act – they inspire us to act. Stories communicate our values through the language of the heart, our emotions. And it is what we feel – our hopes, our cares, our obligations – not simply what we know that can inspire us with the courage to act. The key to public narrative is understanding that values inspire action through emotion. The Three Key Elements of Public Narrative Structure: Challenge – Choice – Outcome A plot begins with an unexpected challenge that confronts a character with an urgent need to pay attention, to make a choice, a choice for which s/he is unprepared. The choice yields an outcome -- and the outcome demonstrates the values underlying the choice and the inner resources available for dealing with challenges. RULES: Maximum time is 10 minutes. Speeches should be delivered from a manuscript. The presence of a manuscript is not optional. Narrative speeches should NOT be expected to display a 3-point structure with previews and other overt organizational devices. The story should serve as the primary organizational factor.
Radio News Broadcasting: Contestants will be given a packet of source materials and will have 30 minutes to select and organize a 5 minute simulated radio broadcast. All material used in the broadcast will be provided by the tournament with the exception of any hypothetical station call letters, time and current weather conditions or forecast and no more than one commercial (maximum 30 seconds). Contestants should strive to present a broadcast that resembles a live radio news segment and refrain from humorous devices (like the traffic girl falling out of the traffic copter or Bigfoot rampaging through town, etc). Maximum time limit for the speech is 5 minutes. Students will be seated at a table during the performance and may use a stopwatch since time signals will not be given. Judges will not face the contestant during the speech. Students will speak in listed order.
