Neumann Novice
General information This is a High School tournament in Nebraska. View manager contact information
Coaches,
You are cordially invited to attend the first annual Neumann Novice Speech Invitational, slated for Friday, January 31, 2025 in Wahoo. The contest will begin at 9 am, and will be open to all speakers who are participating in their first year of High School Speech. We plan to offer all 10 NSAA events and follow their respective rules. We do ask that any competing OID's and Duets be made up entirely of Novice performers.
The meet will take place at our HS building: 202 South Linden Street. Plan to enter the south doors into the Cafeteria, where we’ll have team areas, our concession stand/lunch, general meeting, and awards.
Schedule
If entry numbers allow, we will attempt to run all events at once:
7:30 Registration Opens
8:00 Extemp Draws for Round 1 Begin
8:45 Drop/Add Meeting
9:00 Round 1
9:30 Extemp Draw for Round 2
10:30 Round 2
11:00 Extemp Draw for Round 3
12:00 Round 3 (Finals)
~2:00 Awards (Or sooner if possible)
However, if we run out of rooms we will shift to a flighted schedule. The meet would still start at 9 am in that case, but would finish later in the day.
Our plan is to offer 3 rounds of competition for all students. For the 3rd round we will group students by their overall rank after rounds 1 and 2, and announce assignments just like finals. But we'll have all students compete.
We plan to use paper ballots for the tournament.
Awards
We will present medals for 1st - 6th place in each event. Should any events surpass 24 entries, more medals will be awarded in that event. Team scores based upon final placings will be calculated, with plaques being awarded to the champion and runner-up teams. We will follow the state speech format (20-18-16-14-12-10).
Due to the difficulty of finding Novice-only competitions, there will be Bishop Neumann students competing and eligible for awards at our tournament.
Food
We will be offering a concession stand throughout the day, with special lunch items available starting around 11.
Deadlines and Fees
Entries will be due by Noon on Wednesday, January 29th, but please enter them as soon as you have an idea what they will be. No charges will be assessed until the deadline. Any drops after the deadline will still be assessed entry fees.
Fees are $8 per entry (OID’s count as one entry, as do Duets), and we ask that you provide one judge for each 5 entries or portion thereof. The fee for each uncovered slot will be an extra $15 per entry. (Example: 8 entries, 1 judge = $64 for entry fees + $45 for 3 uncovered slots = $109.)
Checks can be made payable to Bishop Neumann Speech Team, 202 South Linden St., Wahoo, NE 68066. You can bring these with you the day of the meet, but if you need to mail it, please mark it Attn: Chris Kabes.
Thank you for considering attending our meet, and we hope to see you in Wahoo!
Sincerely,
Chris Kabes
Bishop Neumann Speech Coach
