The qualification board for the 2011 Extemporaneous Speaking Tournament of Champions has been updated to reflect the results of last week’s Barkley Forum and Schwan’s Speech Spectacular tournaments. Also, we have obtained the results of the Cal State University, Fullerton Tournament that was held in October thanks to Josh Samra, so those results are also reflected in the qual board.
Ten extempers qualified to the Extemp TOC after entering these results, bringing the total number of extempers qualified to 215. California gained four quals, more than any other state, and is now tied with Florida with the second most number of quals at twenty-one. Georgia, Illinois, Kentucky, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, and Tennessee each gained one qualifier last week. Twenty-four extempers earned their first TOC leg last week and the total number of potential qualifiers now stands at 307. This weekend there are two TOC qualfying tournaments: the Pennsbury Falcon Invitational in Pennsylvania and the Apple Valley Minneapple Speech Tournament in Minnesota. If anyone is attending and can send us the names of elimination round participants and subsequent results we would appreciate it.
