Tall Cotton NFL District Meet February 16-18, 2012 The Tall Cotton NFL District Meet will be held on February 16-18, 2012 in Big Spring, Texas. Thank you to Clint and Jennifer Adams for hosting us. The deadline for entering students is February 7, at 5:00 p.m. We will allow double entering but you must bring to registration the single entry letter of intent, found on the Forms page, with all the necessary signatures. This includes students who will compete in congress, and congress MUST be included on the single entry form. This form must be turned in at registration. Any student who does not have one of these forms, filled out completely and accurately, on file at the beginning of the tournament will not be allowed to double enter. These forms have to be sent in to the National Office with all the district results. Please refer to the current District Tournament Manual for restrictions on entries. All required forms are located on the Forms page of this website. You will need the following forms at registration, filled out completely and accurately, to compete: District Registration, Congress Registration (if you have congress entries), Single Entry Letter of Intent (for every student entered in more than one event--including congress), and District tournament bonus form (if applicable to you). Entry fees are as follows: Congress $50 for house, $50 for senate, $50 for overflow/novice. If you enter all three, you will pay $150. You will be able to enter students for the qualifying chambers online. For novice/overflow chambers, you will need to email those names to mellessa.denny@amaisd.org by the entry deadline. LD Debate $50 Entry deadline is Tuesday, February 7. A $5.00 fee will be charged for each change to the entry form after the entry deadline of February 8. Any drops made after 5:00 p.m. on February 7 will lose the entry fee. No changes or adds allowed after February 15. At registration, you will need to be prepared to verify your membership for students who are entered. Congress: Brent has this arranged so that you can enter all your QUALIFYING students in JOT. For the Novice/Overflow, it is set up as a "miscellaneous" event because your students who are not NFL members will not show up as available for registration. You will have to email their names. You will be able to register "slots" but it will not have names to go with them. It doesn't show up as another tab, but there is a link on the entry page for you to click and enter how many slots you want. Then that is reflected on the fee sheet. SO, your fee sheet should reflect the total amount you owe for registration, including all qualifying and overflow/novice congress fees, IEs and debate. Novice/Overflow names are due, by email, to Mellessa by FEBRUARY 7 with all other entries. Interp: You will need to bring the originals for all of your interp material. This will be checked at registration. Make sure that you enter the titles of duo, humorous, dramatic, and orations online when you enter your students. Oratory: Copies of your orations must be sent to and received by Mellessa Denny. You will need to include the following: highlight, italicize, or underline all quoted words, state the number of quoted words, include a works cited page in APA or MLA format, and attest by signature of both the coach and the student that the oration is the original work of the contestant. Deadline for orations in Mellessa's hands is Thursday, February 2, at 4:00 p.m. You will get confirmation that they have been received. You may email them to mellessa.denny@amaisd.org and bring the signature page to registration with you, fax them to 806-354-5092 attn: Mellessa Denny, or mail them to: Amarillo High School, attn: Mellessa Denny, 4225 Danbury, Amarillo, TX 79109
