Welcome to the third annual Asynchronous Supplemental Jamboree!

Maybe you're trying to get feedback on your students' supplementals ahead of the NSDA National Tournament. Or, maybe you're encouraging your students to try something new in a short, five-minute category with little to no pressure. Either way, this tournament is a perfect spot for you!

THE GIST: Students upload videos of their performances for Expository, Original Spoken Word Poetry, Prose, Poetry, or Storytelling. Judges offer valuable feedback and score your students accordingly. In events with enough entries, we'll break to elimination rounds. At the end of the tournament, you'll receive ballots, scores, and a printable participation/placement certificate for each of your students.

WHY SHOULD YOU ENTER? It's a low-stakes, low-cost opportunity for feedback for your students. It's also a great fundraiser for a fellow S&D program as we gear up for a long drive to Richmond this June!

ENTRIES: Students must register and upload videos no later than Monday, June 1 at 5 p.m. Eastern Standard Time. Check your links and ensure they work ahead of the tournament. From there, your students sit back and wait! The next morning, we'll send out rounds for judges to complete ballots and turn in ranks for rounds due by later that week.

JUDGES: For every five students you submit, you must submit one judge. We do not offer judges for hire. Please ensure your judges turn in scores and ballots -- failure to do so may result in dropping your school's entries!

RULES: All entries must follow NSDA rules for each competitive category, including recently revised rules in Storytelling about standing or kneeling on chairs. Each event is intended for five minutes with a thirty second grace period, though judges can use their discretion when penalizing students for exceeding time limits. There is no time minimum.

SCHEDULE: Preliminary rounds begin Tuesday, June 2. There will be three rounds for each student. All rounds are preliminary and will be completed by Friday, June 5. We'll post results no later than Saturday morning with printable certificates for your students should you want to do that! Any elimination rounds will take place by Thursday, June 5 (semifinals) and by Friday, June 6 (finals). We will keep everyone posted on intended breaks for each competitive category. Last year, we had to run a few final rounds but most were just preliminary rounds only.

IN SUMMARY: All registration must be completed and videos must be uploaded by Monday, June 1 at 5 p.m. EST. Every school must provide a judge for every five entries. The judges must adhere to all deadlines, or that school's entries will be dropped and no feedback or refund will be given. All events are asynchronous and all must adhere to NSDA Tournament rules. Events are limited to five minutes with a 30-second grace period.
