General Information

1.      Please register on Speechwire as soon as possible. Space is limited.

2.      Complete the registration through Speechwire  by December 14th! Please enter numbers as soon as possible and update them as they change.  You can enter names any time prior to the start of the meet.

3.      You can either mail me your check for $150 made payable to Coal City High School or bring it with you to the tournament.

4.      Radio and Extemp will prep on site for the first round and then again for finals.

5.      We would ask that all judges be prepared to time and to consider time somewhat in their rankings.  Gross violations of time limits should be penalized.  Judges in Impromptu and Extemp will also time, so bring at least one stopwatch per team!!  Make sure your judges know how to signal time correctly for all events, but especially for Impromptu and Extemp!

6.      Each school is to provide one judge for every 4 entries, up to 5 judges per team. Again, schools that bring extra entries will need to bring extra judges.  ALL judges must wait for assignments to finals regardless of whether or not their school has students in finals.

7.      Physical awards will be given, including hoodies.

8.      Food will be served by our boosters in the cafeteria.

9.      As this is the 20th anniversery of our tournament, we ask that if you have any judges/coaches that have won a hoodie in the past, and they still have it, to wear the hoodie on that day.  We will also recognize any past winners during our awards ceremony.  

10.        If you have any questions please email dsinkular@coalcityschools.org
