RULES FOR ENTRIES:
-
Expanded double entry options for the Regional Qualifying Tournament:
-
Students may enter a maximum of two events at the Regional Qualifying Tournament, but may choose to enter two “A wave” events or two “B wave” events or one “A wave” event and one “B wave” event
-
However, Students entered in National or International Extemporaneous Speaking may not enter an additional A Wave event, but may double enter in a B wave event.
-
Students in Public Forum, Cross Examination and Lincoln-Douglas Debate may not double enter in an additional B Wave event but may double enter in an A wave event.
-
Students must still complete the Double Entry form prior to their first round of competition.
-
DOUBLE ENTRY FORM: The student may participate in only one event at the State Tournament. The student and his/her coach must decide prior to the first round of the Regional Qualifying meet which event to enter at the State Tournament should the student qualify in both. This decision must be identified on the Double Entry Form (page 37) and submitted to the Regional Tournament Director PRIOR TO THE FIRST ROUND OF THE REGIONAL QUALIFYING MEET. (TOURNAMENT HANDBOOK pg. 28)
-
Students who double-enter will need to complete a doubling form prior to the beginning of the tournament. Though they can qualify in both events, they must pick ONE event to compete in at State.
-
Doubling forms will determine which event a student will compete in at State if that we student DOUBLE QUALIFIES at our Regional tournament. If a student qualifies in one event and is an alternate in another, the doubling form does not apply, as they only qualified in one event. If alternates are pulled in to compete at State, that student would be skipped, as they already will be competing in the event they qualified in.
-
OO/Info manuscripts
-
Bring a copy of OO and Informative manuscripts with completed OO/Info manuscript forms (in “Files for Download” section) to final registration on site.
