TOURNAMENT DAY INFORMATION:

TOURNAMENT FORMAT: There will be three preliminary rounds and a final round for Novice competitors. We will also be offering semi-finals in the Varsity division! This means we will hold three preliminary rounds, a semi-final round, and a final round for Varsity competitors.

FINALS:  Students in the Varsity division will have the opportunity to advance to semi-finals finals after the first three preliminary rounds. The top speakers in each semi-final section will advance to a championship final round. The Novice division will not have semi-finals. Novice final rounds will take place during the Varsity semi-final rounds.  

AWARDS: Our signature marble apples and ribbons will be awarded to selected finalists and semi-finalists in all events. Team sweepstakes will be based on combined final round rankings in novice and varsity divisions.  Five large-entry and one small-entry team sweepstakes will be awarded.

CONCESSIONS: Our concession stands will be available throughout the tournament at both tournament locations. Breakfast items, lunch, and other snacks will be available.  Coaches and judges should plan to visit the coaches' lounge for great hospitality.

SATURDAY CHECK-IN: Saturday check-in will occur at the respective schools. Check-in for Varsity (along with Novice Extemp. Speaking) will be at Apple Valley High School from 7:00-7:45 am on Saturday morning, while check-in for Novice (along with Varsity discussion) will be from 7:00-7:45 am on Saturday morning at Falcon Ridge Middle School.  Please check the schedule page for more information on each location.

SHUTTLE BUSES: We will only provide shuttle buses from Falcon Ridge Middle School to AVHS for awards at the end of the day.  SINCE WE WILL BE HAVING TWO DIFFERENT CHECK-IN SITES, YOU SHOULD HAVE YOUR TRANSPORTATION DROP STUDENTS OFF AT THEIR RESPECTIVE BUILDINGS.
