As a reminder, today is the last day that you can enter the Extemp Central MBA pick’em contest. If you can correctly choose the order of finish for the top five extempers in the tournaments you can receive such prizes as gifts from SpeechGeek.com and iTunes and Starbucks gift cards.

Also, live coverage of tonight’s Round Robin begins this evening. Tonight will see the first two rounds of competition, followed by six rounds tomorrow, and three rounds on Sunday. Late Sunday afternoon will see the Exhibition Round and awards take place. The draw for the first round takes place at 7:10 p.m. and if everything goes according to plan this is the time that Extemp Central will be able to post round one pairings. We will also keep you notified if any of the snow that has hit the central U.S. has prevented any competitors from attending and if there are any last minute substitutions.
