Extemp Central would like to make its followers in Texas aware of the Texas Capital City Extemporaneous Speaking Round Robin, which will be held at Westover Church of Christ across from L.C. Anderson High School on February 11-12, 2011. The tournament’s goal is to showcase the top sixteen extempers from the Lone Star State and will feature six preliminary rounds and an Exhibition Round for the top four competitors. All rounds will utilize a three minute cross-examination format. All preliminary rounds will be adjudicated by three judges, while the Exhibition Round will have a five judge panel.
Claire Daviss of Winston Churchill High School, the TFA state champion in United States Extemporaneous Speaking and Lincoln-Douglas Debate, was the winner of last year’s inaugural event. Haydn Forrest of L.C. Anderson High School took second, Sam Scott of Plano Senior High School took third, and Ali Mavrakis of Plano West Senior High School took fourth.
