The qualification board for the 2011 Extemporaneous Speaking Tournament of Champions has been updated to reflect the results of George Mason, Princeton, Bradley, and the University of Texas at Austin. We still need the names of any non-finalist elimination round participants from the George Armstrong Heart of Illinois Tournament (Bradley), so if you have those please send them our way.
Last weekend, twenty-one extempers qualified for the Extemp TOC. This brings the tally of extempers who have now qualified to 159. Texas added nine qualifiers to increase its qualifier lead to seventeen over Florida and Kansas. 120 extempers now have one qualifying leg and need another elimination round appearance to become a qualifier.
This weekend four tournaments host Extemp TOC qualifiers: the Dowling Catholic Paradigm in Iowa, the Alief Elsik High School Tournament in Texas, the Isidore Newman School Tournament in Louisiana, and the Western Kentucky University Hilltopper Classic in Kentucky. As always, if you have any results from these tournaments forward them our way so we can make sure our TOC qual board is as accurate as possible.
