Extemp Finals Reminder:

1. At the State Championship(s), the final round will include a cross-examination period

1. Each speaker will be assigned a speaker order position. Drawing will take place at 12-minute intervals. Thirty minutes after speaker first has drawn, speakers first and last will enter the contest room. Speaker first should give a speech and speaker last should listen and may take notes. At the conclusion of speaker first's speech, speaker last will question speaker first for two minutes. Speaker last will return to the prep room and speaker first will stay and question speaker second. Speaker second will question speaker third, etc.

2. Unless it is unavoidable, students from the same school should not cross-examine one another. Speaker order should be adjusted accordingly.
