The qualification board for the 2011 Extemporaneous Speaking Tournament of Champions has been updated to reflect the results of the Alief Taylor High School Tournament, the Dowling Catholic Paradigm,and the Western Kentucky University Hilltopper Classic. We have also obtained the non-finalist elimination round participants from the George Armstrong Heart of Illinois Tournament, so those results have been keyed into the system. However, we still need the names of the non-finalist elimination round participants at Alief Taylor and we need complete results from the Isidore Newman School Tournament. Any help the community could provide in getting us these results is appreciated.
Eight extempers qualified for the TOC last week, which means that 167 extempers have now qualified for this year’s tournament. Texas added four qualifiers and continued to increase its lead among the states. Texas has 38 qualifiers. Iowa added three qualifiers and now has four. Thirty extempers gained their first qualifying leg last week, bringing the number needing another elimination round appearance to qualify to 142.
