IPDA and EXTEMP Double Entries

If a competitor is double entered in IPDA, the competitor should go to the speech event first, then come to central strike right after finishing their speech.  We will push strike out a bit to accommodate for the double entered students.

If a competitor is double entered in EXTEMP, the competitor should go to extemp draw and their extemp round first, then go to their next event right after they finish their extemp speech.

Contact the Tournament Director Lindsay Walsh (Lindsay.walsh@sjsu.edu) if you have any questions or issues with registration.
