In a little over 40 days, the 2009-2010 Extemp Central National Points Race 
will kick off. The points race, whose purpose it is to award the extemper who has achieved the best results at a collection of nationally recognized tournaments, will see some adjustments from last season. For example, this year tournaments will be organized into five tiers as opposed to three.
Over the next five days, Extemp Central will gradually release the names of tournaments that have been selected for the national points race, the tier that they will occupy, and the rationale for placing them in that tier. The tournaments that will make up the tournament’s fifth tier, the lowest tier on the national points race, will be released tomorrow.
To find out more details about this year’s points race, check out the first edition of this year’s Ex Files, set to be released at the end of August.
