Preparing for the Round
Do not take a ballot for LD or TP debate in the round prior to an Extemp round. There will not be enough time to complete the ballot and prep for Extemp
Ensure you will comply with “More than Two Rule” for the full round
This applies when there is only one active competition room
30 Minutes prior to the Extemp round, pick up the Extemp folder from TAB
Folder will hold: Topic Cards, Wall postings, Door postings
Post the Preset Timer & Room Entry signs outside the Prep Room
These signs should be with Logistics or Comms if they are not in the Extemp folder
These are the only postings outside of the Prep Room that we manage
Post Wall and Door postings inside the Prep Room
Comms will post Wall and Door postings outside the Prep Room
Prepare laptop with Timeslots Template digital copy

Designate a table space for holding competitor’s devices while they speak
Prepare Topic Cards
Separate cards and fold them to reveal only the competitor names

Ensure Topic Cards are secure prior to Draw Times so competitors can not read them prematurely
