STOW FINISHED 2ND OVERALL!!!!!!!!
Now for Bigs. Again, Bigs is a very long tournament that lasts 2 days. Hopefully the computerizing of tabbing will cut down on some time, but still expect there to be quite of bit of waiting. Make sure you have plenty to occupy yourself. Unlike in years past, ALL rounds are open for observation this year (this includes Prelims). In IE, there will be 4 preliminary rounds, a Semifinal, and a Final. The cumulative total of all your scores throughout the tournament will determine the National qualifiers. Don’t psych yourself out!!!! This is any other tournament, with people you’ve seen before. Treat the rounds as any other round- your goal should be to be in the top 3 in your round, just as it is all year.
IMPORTANT: Pursuant to NFL National Tournament rules, in Individual Events, if you go over the time of 10:30 (7:30 in Extemp), you are NOT allowed to receive a 1 in the round. This rule may be waived in Semis and Finals because of audience reaction. Still, if you are finding yourself running longer, you want to work on making sure you can deliver your piece/speech well within the limit.
I AM SO PROUD OF EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU. THE SUCCESS WE HAVE HAD THIS YEAR MAKES ME PROUD TO BE A COACH, AND TO REPRESENT STOW-MUNROE FALLS. BELIEVE IN YOURSELVES AND YOU WILL GO FAR!!!!!!!!!
