All competitors with prepared speeches must complete the script submission process.
Script Submission Opens: Sunday, Jan 11th at 8:00 am MST
Submission Deadline: Sunday, January 18th at 8:00 pm MST
Final Compliance Deadline: Saturday, January 24th at 8:00 pm MST
Students must submit all initial scripts by Sunday, Jan 18th at 8:00 pm MST to avoid being dropped from an event and charged drop fees. Students must also have their script in compliance no later than Saturday, Jan 24th at 8:00pm MST to avoid being dropped from that event and charged drop fees.
It is the student's responsibility to:
1 - ensure initial submission deadline is adhered to
2 - ensure that all corrections requested by a script reviewer are accomplished and resubmitted within 24 hours
3 - utilize parents and coaches as needed to bring script into compliance and reduce the number of additional reviews needed
Our script submission process:
1) If your script is returned to you (after the initial submission), the student and parent will be notified via email of the corrections necessary, and must resubmit a corrected version within 24 hours.
2) If second submission is sent back again, both parent and coach will be notified via email, and must work with the coach to ensure compliance for an additional resubmission. Resubmission must be made within 24 hours.
3) If the third submission is still not in compliance, the Script Lead will contact the parent and/or coach and a FINAL fourth submission must be received within 24 hours. No further submissions beyond this will be accepted.
NO MORE THAN FOUR TOTAL SUBMISSIONS ARE ALLOWED, and students are not guaranteed four submissions if they do not abide by the 24 hour requirement on resubmitting when corrections are requested.
