*Impromptu Prompts will be shared via the Zoom chat feature. Impromptu is AFA-style; please make sure that students do not see prior speakers. Please tell your students to check into their impromptu room, and then wait to be excused by the judge BEFORE ENTERING THE IMPROMPTU WAIT ROOM. Once a student is done speaking, they will then enter the waiting room and inform the next speaker that it is their turn to enter the performance room and speak. PLEASE ENCOURAGE YOUR STUDENTS TO TIME THEMSELVES (though judges' timers will be the official record of time) to prevent any internet connection/screen freezing issues that may occur.

TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES- Should you experience technical difficulties, or have any questions, please message us by clicking the contact tournament tab to the left.

If you get kicked out due to internet issues in the middle of a student's speech, please use your best judgement regarding how to proceed. For example, if the student has only spoken for one minute, it would make sense to have them re-start. However, if the student was eight minutes into their speech, try to have them pick up near where the internet left off for the sake of time.
