The space for our tournament is limited, so please register as soon as you can. You may have up to 5 entries per
competition event and competitors may register for 1 event in each wave (No Doubling between debate events).
We will charge $10.00 per entry in Drama, Humor, Poetry, POI, Extemp (USX & IX), Info, and Oratory. The
fee for all Debate and DUO will be $20.00 per entry. Registration is open on Speechwire.com. Your
tournament entry fees will be based on your pre-registration numbers. Registration will be closed on November
1st. Please make checks payable to Woodland Park High School Forensic Team. Any drops made after the
November 1st deadline will be subject to the forfeiture of the entry fee.
If you are running late the morning of the tournament, please call my cell phone (719.646.9604) to let
me know when you will be arriving. If you arrive after 7:30 AM, you may be dropped from round one.
Extemp Draw:
This will take place 30 minutes prior to the scheduled start of each round, except for round one. For
this round, draw will start promptly at 7:50 AM, and speaking will begin at 8:20 AM.
Judges:
Please help us out by bringing judges. Each school must provide judges based on competitors: for
every 1- 6 competitors in speech events or 1-2debate entries 1 judge will be required. Ballots must
be turned in within 10 minutes of a round’s completion. I know that it is hard for you to get judges to
travel to Woodland Park, but we really need any judge that you can bring. If we don’t have judges
from your school then our tournament will run behind schedule. Judges will be paid $10.00 per
round. Additionally, we need your judges to bring a device (laptop, tablets, Chromebook, etc. )
they can submit and fill out electronic ballots on.
Doubling:
Students may enter in one Green Wave and one White Wave event (But they cannot double in two
debate events). Extempers who double need to understand that they may lose part of their prep time
if their white wave event goes long.
Awards:
All finalists will be given an award. A sweepstakes trophy will be awarded as well.
Food:
Breakfast, lunch and snacks will be provided for judges and coaches. Competitors will need to bring
their own food or purchase food available at our concessions stand. Fast food places are not readily
available to competitors.
Debate:
PF debaters, both novice and varsity, will use the November NFL Varsity Topic. LD debaters,
both novice and varsity, will use the November-December NFL Varsity Topic. According to
CHSAA rules the use of the internet is allowed and our wifi network will be on. However, as we all
know technology isn’t always dependable. IT IS STRONGLY SUGGESTED THAT ALL
COMPETITORS HAVE THEIR CASES PRINTED OUT. No rounds will be rerun due to internet
connection issues.
School Rules:
!The tournament will be governed under the rules set forth by CHSAA, and Woodland Park
RE-2 School District.
!The Woodland Park School District schools are tobacco-free campuses.
!Anyone caught violating school or district rules while at the tournament will be disqualified.
!Anyone caught defacing school property will be disqualified.
!Furniture shall not be re-arranged. We need to respect the teachers who allow us to
use their rooms.
