SpeechWire Tournament Services - Forensics Tournament Software

The Wrightstown High School forensics team and administration cordially invite you to the "Blue Rose" Tournament on Saturday, February 1st!

Double and Triple entering is permitted at this tournament; however, students may not double/triple in BOTH extemp and radio. We will do our best to accommodate as many entries as possible, and depending on numbers we likely will use multiple buildings, but it will be a short walk between them.

You may enter as many students in an event as desired, but only the top four will count toward a team's total points. A team's top 25 entries will count for total sweepstakes points.

We will run three preliminary rounds and one final round, depending on number of entries per event. If some categories have lower numbers, a final round may not be necessary to determine awards.

While we are running a WFCA tournament, we invite WISDAA schools to join us, too. Accommodations will be made for rules differences between the associations.

7:00-7:30 am: Call/text 920-664-5278 with any drops and/or confirm "all present"; please call/text even if there are no changes-thanks!

Upon arrival, teams should report to ____________, and _________________ will be the student hub.

In addition to standard WFCA categories, we will also offer oratorical declamation.

We will follow WFCA rules for applicable categories with the following allowances for competitors from WISDAA schools:

WISDAA coaches: please let us know if you have any questions/concerns about rule variations.

Please provide one qualified judge for every five entries or fraction thereof. Hired judges are available at a cost of $100 per uncovered entry (for instance, if you have 17 entries and bring three judges, you’ll be charged $100 for the uncovered entries). You must provide the number of judges you indicate on your registration as of Wednesday, January 29th and any additional judges to accommodate late adds. Please contact us in advance if you have a judge who is uncomfortable completing online ballots.

$10 per individual entry and $15 per Duo, Group Interpretation, or Play Acting entry. Please make checks payable to Wrightstown High School.

The top three finalists in each category will receive trophies. All other finalists will receive medals. The highest scoring double and triple entered students will also receive awards.

Team divisions will be determined based on actual entries on Saturday, and team awards will be presented to the top three teams in each of three divisions: Large Team, Medium Team, and Small Team. Large Team awards will be based on total sweepstakes points earned, while Medium and Small Team awards will be based on points per entry. We will do our best to balance the number of teams in each division.

Concessions will be available for purchase by students. Coaches, judges, and bus drivers will all be provided with a variety of food options throughout the day in the judges’ lounge.

Wednesday, January 29: Entries due in SpeechWire by 7:00 pm. Manage your own adds/drops until Friday morning.

Friday, January 31: Entry fees lock in at 12:00 pm. Any drops after this time should be texted to (920) 664-5278.
