Changes adopted by the KSHSAA Executive Board and published in the 2012-13 Debate, Speech & Drama manual:

Speech
Computer use will be allowed in extemporaneous speaking preparation rooms.  (See the speech manual pages 32 & 33 for details of rule.)

Speech Festival
Impromptu Speaking has been added as speech festival event for all classifications.

State Speech Championships-
3A and 4A expanded from 9 to 10 events for State Championship competition. (Schools from these classifications will vote in September and October 2012 to determine the 10th event.)
In very large invitational tournaments, state qualifying standards have been expanded to allow for additional qualifiers.


Optional LD Computer Use
Laptop computers will be permitted in Lincoln-Douglas debate at this year's 2013 State Speech CHampionship Tournament on May 4, 2013. We will follow the same policy regarding Electronic Retreival Devices as we do for Policy Debate. Refer to page 9, Section 8 if you would like to use laptops during this year's Lincoln-Douglas Championship.

Electronic readers may not be used in Poetry/Prose
In the speech manual Poetry/Prose section on page 34 under Sec. 4 it states: "Performances must be from a manuscript (which may be in a folder). Reading from a book or magazine is not permitted." Also, no electronic devices are allowed in performance rooms by participants. Thus reading from an electronic reader or device would not be legal in Poetry/Prose at this point in time. << continue >>
