New standings for the 2022-2023 Extemp Central National Points Race have been released! These results reflect the outcomes of the Glenbrooks and Florida Blue Key. You can find them by clicking on the “National Points Race” tab at the top of the page or by clicking here.
This weekend features dual fourth tier points opportunities as George Mason University hosts its Patriot Games event in Fairfax, Virginia and the University of Texas-Austin holds its Longhorn Classic in Austin, Texas. All competitors who reach the semi-final round and beyond at those events will earn National Points Race points. If a competitor breaks to semi-finals in International and United States Extemp at the Longhorn Classic, their best finish will be used for the standings so as to avoid double counting.
Looking at the early entry list for the Longhorn, many competitors in the top 25 will clash there so expect a shakeup in the standings before the end of first semester. The Longhorn could also have significant implications for bids to this year’s Montgomery Bell Academy (MBA) Extemp Round Robin, which returns to its traditional January slot on the calendar this season.
