Tournament details: All competitors will compete in two preliminary rounds. Following the second round, the top 14 competitors in each event will advance to semifinals, then the top 7 will advance to finals. (More may advance in cases of unbreakable ties, etc.) Manuscripts: A manuscript that is in compliance with the CHSSA guidelines listed on the official cover sheet must accompany any prepared speech. Please read the CHSSA requirements carefully, and thoroughly check over your school’s manuscripts before submission to the league. It will save all of us a good deal of time and effort if manuscripts are in compliance when we read them at the reading meeting on March 1. All manuscripts must have a completed cover sheet attached and must be submitted in person by the coach of the school at the league meeting at 11:00 am at the Congress/Parli/PF Tournament on Saturday, March 1. Cover sheets are available to download online at the CHSSA website (www.cahssa.org). Any entry for prepared events not accompanied by a manuscript and cover sheet will not be entered in the tournament. Any manuscript that, at the league meeting, is found to be out of compliance with the CHSSA requirements must be corrected and resubmitted to the league president at the IE Tournament at Helix on Friday, March 7. An additional $10 fee must accompany each manuscript that is resubmitted. It is the responsibility of the individual coach to get any resubmitted manuscripts into the League President’s hands by that date. Note: Double-check that all signatures, that are applicable, are present on the coversheets.

All coaches need to attend this meeting even if you don’t have a student that is qualified outright. Each year, students who haven’t qualified outright shift up into a qualifying position because of other students’ shifting out of the event, since a student may only enter one individual event at the State Tournament. If the coach is not at the meeting to confirm a student’s attendance at the State Tournament, the students may be bypassed and excluded from State qualification. Note: If you sign a “No” on a student, that student MAY NOT later be added into that event if some problem arises with his or her participation in another event, such as Team Debate or Duo. If a student does not qualify outright in any event you still may only sign yes in one event. You must come to this meeting!
