Octofinal breaks have been posted at the 2012 NFL National Tournament. Extempers will compete in rounds seven and eight this afternoon and quarter-final breaks will be announced this evening.
All of the extempers who made the octofinal round have automatically qualified to the 2013 Extemporaneous Speaking Tournament of Champions at Northwestern University. All of the extempers who made octofinals also have earned National Points Race points and points for their respective teams in the National Team Points Race. Keep in mind, though, that only a school’s top three finishers will count for the National Team Points Race unless they manage to get more than three extempers to the final round. Based on the data that we have accumualted, International Extemp is the category that will receive the fifty point bonus this year at NFL Nationals.
Each extempers National Points Race rank is listed by their name, with NR meaning that an extemper is not ranked.
