General information This is a High School tournament in Nebraska. View manager contact information
Welcome to our tournament! My name is Elizabeth Lafleur, Logan View coach and meet-runner. I'm grateful to be hosting our invite! We are looking forward to hosting your team Saturday, Feb. 1!
Also, if you're looking for last-meet-before Districts opportunity, we will be hosting the Logan View Speech of Cake Meet on Saturday, March 8 --- consider yourself invited! I'm still working on what will be best for the teams attending, but it might be a semi-formal invite, jeans and speech shirts and oral critiques with Districts' focused critiques (small, doable improvements)

Nitty Gritty Details:
Logan View Speech Invite
SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 2025
We will be accepting online registrations at SpeechWire. Results will be available online throughout the meet and after on SpeechWire’s website.
The deadline for entries will be Wednesday, Jan. 29 at 5:00pm. All competitors and judges need to be entered by the deadline. You can update and change your entries as many times as you want up until that time, but no additions after this time.
DROPS: If you drop a student after Jan. 19 at 5pm through the day of the event, you are still responsible for entry & judge fees. Why? I've already got the judges hired, food ordered, rooms arranged, etc. As everyone knows, drops don't make meet management easier by any stretch. I will enclose the SpeechWire invoice with your team folders (it is always available on SpeechWire).
Tournament Competition will consist of two preliminary rounds with one judge followed by one final round with two judges for varsity finals; novice will have one finals judge. The top six competitors in each division will advance to the final round competition. All Varsity finalists will receive medals. The Novice finalists will receive ribbons. Sweepstakes trophies will be awarded to the top two teams.
Double Entries and Triple Entries are accepted. Please make sure your extempers understand that they MUST be on time for extemp. Waiting on extempers to present can seriously alter the schedule of a meet. Extemp prep will be in the high school library, located in the middle of the building. Please pay close attention to the scheduled flights when determining whether or not a student can handle two or more events. There is no team limit placed in any event.
Flight A events:
Humorous
Informative
OID
Persuasive
POI
Flight B events:
Duet
Entertainment
Extemp
Poetry
Serious
Concessions will be in the commons area and will be provided by the Logan View FCCLA chapter. There will be a concurrent basketball game on this day, however, I don't anticipate that it will influence our day because they will be in the dome and we will be in the classroom spaces.
Registration will be at the main/west entrance. Homeroom will be in the lecture hall/auditorium and awards will also be there. All announcements, including finalists, will be posted in the entry area and near the tab room.
JUDGES will need to be provided for every 6 ENTRIES. Uncovered judging slots will be charged $10 per uncovered entry. Please, arm your judges with stopwatches. ALL JUDGES WILL NEED TO BE ON CALL FOR FINALS. A hospitality room for all coaches, judges, and bus drivers will be in the FCS room.
Fees are $8.00 per entry, individual or group; THERE WILL BE AN ADDITIONAL $40 FEE for teams with fewer than 5 entries.
Why? Because as teams get smaller, we lost money by hosting this meet last year via hospitality room and judges for uncovered events and awards. Here's what happening: the old fee structure assumed fuller teams balances out to 6 in a round. When rounds aren't full, and judges aren't hired but are covered by fees, it creates a gap when a lot of small teams attend. My team is absolutely not an exception to this modern challenge. However, I was requested by my AD to try to ameliorate the problem as much as we are able. If you have fewer than 4 entries but bring a hired judge/choose to judge yourself, I will waive this fee for your team.
We look forward to seeing you at our speech invite! We will try to keep everything running as smoothly as possible throughout the day. If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please feel free to contact me.
See you on Feb. 1!
