Quitman High School
Invitational Meet
February 6, 2010
Dear UIL Sponsors:
Quitman High School invites you to participate in a UIL Academic Invitational meet on Saturday, February 6, 2010. Please register at www.joyoftournaments.com. All UIL events will be offered, except Debate, and we will be using UIL Set B materials. Each school will be limited to four entries per event with the following exceptions: Science, Calculator, Number Sense and Math – limited to 6 entries per event, Ready Writing, Computer Applications, all Journalism and Speaking events will be limited to 3 entries per event. Also due to the lack of space, Computer Applications is limited to the first 24 entries. We will not have a general assembly, but rather go to our first contest at the scheduled time. This will give us an earlier start for the day’s events.
NOTES ON EVENTS

Computer Applications: Students are responsible for bringing computers, printers, disks and/or flash drives, software, extension cords/power strips and all other needed items. Entries will be limited to the first 24. You must provide a grader to compete.

If you have any drops in prose and poetry, check-in at the auditorium before 8:00 and drops for extemporaneous speaking must be before 10:30 in room 33. Schools which do not provide a judge for speech events will be charged a $50.00 judging fee or they will be disqualified.

Schools which do not provide a judge for Ready Writing and Journalism will be disqualified. No computers or printers will be provided. If you choose to use technology please come prepared.
