Draw for the final round of this year’s Montgomery Bell Extemp Round Robin is underway. This is the last opportunity for extempers to make a move in the final standings, as this round will constitute the last three of an extemper’s thirty ranks for the tournament. In the past, extempers have managed to move into first place in round ten and have spoken their way into (and out of) the tournament’s Exhibition Round.
As stated this morning, Adam Johnson will announce the Exhibition Round participants at 1:35 p.m. CST and we will be as prompt as possible getting the names of those participants to you.
The topic area for this round is global hot spots.
