Hoffman Estates HS - D211 VARSITY Turkey Tourney

Saturday, November 18, 2023

Hello Speech Coaches –

Hoffman Estates High School will be hosting the D211 VARSITY Turkey Tourney tournament on Saturday, November 18, 2023!

HEHS will proceed with running a standard varsity tournament. Rounds for the Varsity tournament are currently scheduled to be flighted (see schedule below), however, I plan to condense this as much as possible once I have received final information regarding building availability, so stay tuned for schedule changes. Students will compete in 3 preliminary rounds, along with next-in finals, & finals. We are not allowing triple entries at this time. Each final round contestant will receive an award and the top 6 schools (based upon performance in prelims) will receive trophies.

Limited Prep:

- Extemp will prep for 2 preliminary rounds and choose their better speech of the two for round three.

- Radio Speaking will prep for round 1 and use that script for rounds 2 & 3.

- Extemp and Radio will prep for final rounds.

Entry Fees & Judges:

1-14 entries -- $150 (Bring 3 judges)

15-28 entries -- $200 (Bring 5 judges)

29-42 entries -- $250 (Bring 6 judges)

- One judge for every 5 entries

- We will be using e-ballots and electronic critiques

- Judges should bring their own technology; technology rental/check-out will be available, if needed
