Although there have been no changes in the national points race from the last edition, the next two tournaments (the Extemp TOC and the CFL national tournament) will have a major impact on the standings. The trophy for both the individual and team standings is being searched for and ordered as we speak, and pictures of those will be released on the website when they become available.
Since the Extemp TOC is a “second tier” tournament, the points available for the Extemp TOC are as follows:
