Drops in Speech- If you have drops in speech, please send them in ASAP as I will be entering drops tomorrow morning early before registration and during registration for team debate. There is no opening ceremony, so as you hop in the van let me know please and thank you 😊 THERE ARE JUDGE ORIENTATIONS TO HELP OUT NEW JUDGES SO PLEASE ATTEND THOSE AS NECESSARY (there will also be coffee and cake)

Being on time- Debaters should hustle to their rounds as soon as they see pairings. If you have not subscribed to the tournament or entered your students’ emails, they should try to do this in the morning. They can literally subscribe to themselves and judges can subscribe to themselves as well if they have trouble finding information. IF DEBATERS ARE 20 MINUTES LATE FROM THE TIME WE BLAST ROUNDS/ANNOUNCE TOPIC (WHICH WE ARE TRACKING) THEY WILL BE FORFEITED.

Extemp Prep- This will occur in Education 118 (Gladys L. Benerd School of Education on the map). We will do roll call but you should make sure to sign in and then head into prep

Double Entries- Students who are double entered should:

Go to their rooms and sign themselves in on a white board or chalk board first before heading to the next round so the judge knows you are double entered (I.E. AI02- Steve Farias (DE-Extemp)

Go to Extemp first if you are double entered in Extemp

If not in Extemp, go to event you are listed in first before going to second or third event (I.E.- AI02- Steve Farias will sign in at Impromptu as 6th Speaker, HI as 4th Speaker, and then go to Informative as 1st Speaker)

Judging- Please make sure your judges are familiar with the information provided on how to access their ballot and also take time to review the event one-sheets on Important Info and Links

Podcasting- Please bring in a usb or send a link to download the audio for the event. That way we can get our judges the information and judge throughout the weekend.

Lunch- Finally, your students will have lunch tickets and judges and coaches will have a catered lunch on Knowles Lawn. The lunch will start at 11:45 and end at 1:15 PM.

Thank you all for a great day 1 and we hope to have another great day 2!
