WELCOME!
Dear Coach:
We are proud to extend this invitation for you and any qualified students to participate in the 2023 National Individual Events Tournament of Champions. To see if you have qualified students, you will want to read the details found here: https://www.speechwire.com/files/14215-2023%20QUALIFICATION%20METHODS.pdf
The NIETOC is committed to bringing the nation's best and brightest students and teachers together to participate in a high-caliber and high-quality national speech tournament. The NIETOC is designed to give competitors an amazing competitive experience, with a student-centered schedule, competitive costs, and minimal judge requirements.
Our 2023 tournament will be live and hosted by Travis Rother at Chanhassen High School in Chanhassen, MN (a suburb of the Twin Cities). Our tournament hotel will be the DoubleTree by Hilton Bloomington – Minneapolis South, located at 7800 Normandale Blvd., Minneapolis, MN 55439. Room reservation info will be available soon.
While there is certainly helpful information on our website, most of the pertinent details for 2023 will be found on our SpeechWire page -- https://www.speechwire.com/c-info.php?tournid=14215
The entire NIETOC Board is hopeful that many of you are able to join us for what will be our 13th national tournament intended to celebrate, once again, the power of the spoken word and the resiliency of the speakers and coaches who continue to advocate for that power--in spite of a global pandemic.
Some of the key aspects of the 2023 competition include:
-Four preliminary rounds in all individual events
-Students may enter three events UNLESS one of them is Extemporaneous. Extempers may only double-enter.
-Supplemental Events are making a return! We will offer Poetry, Prose, Expository and Impromptu for those students not advancing to main event elimination rounds.
-Students must pre-register for a maximum of two supplemental events and will then re-register on Saturday morning of the competition, once main event breaks are posted.
-Bonus entries available in Duet (2) and POI (1). Please see details under ‘Files for Download.’
-Extemp Topics will be mixed in nature vs. alternating rounds of international/domestic issues.
-2023 NSDA qualifiers earn one bid in that event. Again, please read the ‘How To Qualify’ section carefully for other tournament results that may help your student earn acceptance.
To confirm bid status, please check our website and the searchable bid recipient database: http://nietoc.com/name-search/
-Initial entry deadline is March 31, with a late deadline of April 25.
All of the pertinent information regarding the many aspects of this year’s competition can be found under our SpeechWire ‘Files for Download’ here -- https://www.speechwire.com/c-info.php?tournid=14215
ALL ENTRIES WILL INITIALLY BE ON THE WAITING LIST UNTIL VERIFICATION OF RESULTS IS CONFIRMED AND ACCEPTANCE IS GRANTED.
If you have any questions, please email us at info@nietoc.com. We look forward to hosting you at our 2023 NIETOC Experience!
