Tournament Events
We are pleased to offer the following events:
- Dramatic Interpretation
- Humorous Interpretation
- Program of Oral Interpretation
- Original Oratory
- Informative Speaking
- Extemporaneous Speaking
- Impromptu Speaking
All events except Extemp and Impromptu will be asynchronous. Competitors will receive instructions for uploading their recordings after they have registered. Recordings must be uploaded no later than 6:00 p.m. on Wednesday, October 14. We are not able to accept late submissions.
Extemp and Impromptu will be synchronous. Competitors will receive their topics via email and will perform their speech live at the scheduled time.
Pending adequate numbers, we will offer both novice and open divisions in all events.
Registration and Fees
Register schools, competitors, and judges online at BearCreek.Tabroom.com.
After coaches register entries on Tabroom, download and fill out the Excel spreadsheet (found on Tabroom site), listing information about all judges, coaches, observers, and competitors. Then coaches should email the spreadsheet to support@cascadecommons.org. Submitting this spreadsheet is the most critical step in this process. Without the spreadsheet, competitors will not be able to submit asynchronous speech recordings or access tournament rooms.
After coaches receive a confirmation email that their teams' spreadsheet has been received, all competitors, coaches, and judges from that school will be able to access the Cascade Commons platform and submit asynchronous recordings. Additional information and guides on the process of signing up, submitting asynchronous recordings, and participating in synchronous speech events will be sent out in this confirmation email; this information will also be on Tabroom.
- $25 school fee
- $10 per entry
Payment should be made to:
The Bear Creek School
8905 208th Ave NE
Redmond WA 98053
Judging
Schools must provide one judge for every five entries. Judging will take place online via Tabroom, so all judges must have an active Tabroom account that is linked to your school. Not providing sufficient judges may result in your entries being dropped.
