Important Links:

LIMITED PREP-

*We will be using an Extemp draw room, which can be found here-https://8x8.vc/DIXQEXTprep. Questions will be shared via the chat feature in the prep room. 

*Impromptu Prompts will be shared via the chat feature in the COMPETITION room. 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: https://8x8.vc/DIXQIMPwaitingroom. 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 to prevent any internet connection/screen freezing issues that may occur. 

JUDGE STANDBY ROOM- If you do not have a ballot assigned to you for a round, please log into the judge standby room, which can be found here- https://8x8.vc/DIXQStandBy

TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES- Should you experience technical difficulties, or have any questions, please visit the help desk, which can be found here-https://8x8.vc/DIXQHelpDesk 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. 

AWARDS- The awards ceremony will take place via Zoom. Specific times will be identified as we move through the tournament. The link will be sent on Sunday!
