Welcome to the 2019 Capital City Classic!

Friday, December 13th, 2019

We are pleased to announce we will be a NIETOC Bid Tournament again this year!

Bids will be offered in Varsity NIETOC events according to final entry numbers in those events.  

 

EVENTS: 

     -  Varsity: EXT, OO, ENT, INF, IMP, HI, DI, POE, POI, DUO, OID
     -  Novice: EXT, OO, ENT, INF, IMP, HI, DI, POE
     -  Informative will run at the 10-minute max to accommodate the NSDA ruleset.
     -  DUO will run with a 12-minute time limit to accommodate Duet Acting scripts. (Tables & chairs will NOT be provided, but MAY be used)
     -  Competitors may triple-enter at their own risk as part of the CCC Triathalon competition.  We will not hold rounds if competitors do not get to their rounds on time. 

 

FEES: Entry fees will be $8.00.  All fees will be assessed at entry deadline. Drops after deadline will not reduce your fees or judging requirements. 

 

JUDGES: Please provide one judge for every five (5) entries. Uncovered judges will have a $15 fee per uncovered entry.  Please make every effort to cover your judging slots -- we need your judges more than your money!  If you have a large entry, we may have to run rounds with your speakers hitting. Please make sure to note any "clean" judges who may judge your own students. All judges need to be available for finals.

 

E-BALLOTS:  Please note that we will be running electronic ballots this year.  ALL judges MUST have a wi-fi enabled computer, tablet, or phone; and will need to have a current/working e-mail address in order to receive ballots.  Information about e-balloting will be sent to coaches and judges the week of the tournament.

 

AWARDS: Trophies will be awarded to the champions and runners-up in both the Varsity and Novice divisions for each event, with medals for the remaining finalists.  Sweepstakes trophies will be awarded to the top three teams.  For the first time this year, a triathalon award will be given to the top two students competing in 3 events. 

 

CONCESSIONS: There will be a concession stand available throughout the tournament for competitors- located in the Cafeteria. Pizza will arrive throughout the day as well as basic concession snacks and drinks. Food will be provided for all judges and coaches at no extra cost. 

 

PARKING: School will be in session until 2:05pm so parking will be VERY limited in the school lots until at least 2:15. Note there are several businesses and offices with large parking lots in the area -- please avoid those lots to keep spots open for customers and employees. There is a large parking public parking lot across the street for Lewis Field #1 (2210 M St, Lincoln, NE 68510); the entrance is found along the west bound Capital Parkway. The student lot will also have available parking. Student drop off will be easiest in either the staff parking lot (main lot) or in the circle drive at 21st and J Street (just to the west of the main building). 

 

ARRIVAL/REGISTRATION: Please try to plan on arriving no earlier than 1:30 pm. When you arrive, go straight up the stairs to the AUDITORIUM.

Registration and general meeting will be located in the AUDITORIUM and we will move to the cafeteria after the meeting. All students, judges, coaches will need to stay in the Auditorium until school is dismissed at 2:05pm.
