Mark The (Midweek) Calendar

The next two weeks get hectic for the team: three events on the next two Wednesdays with plenty of travel to boot. Here's the rundown:

Wednesday March 12

WMLDL, Jackson County Western HS, Parma MI.
This is the last event of the League complete with pizza, cake and extra awards. We'll take one car full (that's six with a rental).

MCSI Novice State Tournament, Dexter High School, Dexter MI
This is an annual tournament or first time competitors in Forensics. Potentially we could take a ton -- 14 students have signed up wanting to go. But... (ah, that "but"), we are limited by drivers and judge requirements. As of now we have 2 drivers, and that's enough for only 8 to go. We'll be in touch this week in class about who should compete.

Wednesday March 19

Districts, South Christian High School, Cutlerville
This is the opening tournament that qualifies students to compete at the Regionals in April, and hopefully at State in May. We are limited to taking only two entries in each category. Fortunately we can meet that, unfortunately we have several categories (Duo, Prose) where we will have to make a choice about who goes.

How do we decide? We use the scores from previous competitions as our measure. The most significant score is the total percentage (we add up all your scores from all your rounds). If that does not seem valid to us, we may have tryouts before a neutral judge.

We'll post more on this next week.

So as they say, Mark your Calendar
