Welcome to the home page for the 2025 District IX AFA Qualifier tournament hosted by ASU on Mar 1, 2025 for College students.
Status: Tournament Completed
This tournament is virtual!
THE SCHEDULE HAS BEEN ADJUSTED BASED ON ENTRIES AND JUDGE TURNOUT TO KEEP THE TOURNAMENT AS SHORT AS CAN BE MANAGED. EVERY EVENT WITH ENTRIES WILL BE RUNNING A SINGLE ROUND IN FRONT OF 3 JUDGES.
SCHEDULE: all times are MST (Scheduled may be collapsed if entries are low)
EXT Draw 8:30AM
9:00-10:15 AM: EXT & POE (SAME PANEL) INFO, ADS FINAL
10:30-11:45 AM: POI & DI (SAME PANEL), PRO, IMP FINAL
12:00 PM: MANDATORY DIST. COACHES & STUDENT MEETINGS
AWARDS: ASAP
IF YOUR EVENT SAYS "SAME PANEL", THAT MEANS THAT JUDGES WILL WATCH AND RANK THE FIRST LISTED EVENT, THEN HEAD TO THE SECOND LISTED EVENT TO DO THE SAME. STUDENTS, THAT MEANS THAT YOU MAY BE WAITING IN A ROOM WITHOUT A JUDGE FOR A BIT. DON'T WORRY, YOU'RE NOT IN THE WRONG PLACE. WE'RE DOING THIS TO GET THROUGH ROUNDS AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE, GIVEN THAT SOME EVENTS HAVE SO FEW COMPETITORS THAT WE CAN GET THROUGH TWO ROUNDS IN THE TIME OF ONE.
Important Links:
LIMITED PREP-
*Extemp We will be using an Extemp draw room, which can be found here- https://forensicstournament.net/video/extempprep/3602. 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://forensicstournament.net/video/impromptuwaiting/3602. 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.
TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES- Should you experience technical difficulties, or have any questions, please message us by clicking the contact tournament tab to the left or by messaging/calling the number 9178213161
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 at the following Zoom link:
