HOW TO EARN STATE BIDS
Students must earn two bids in order to qualify for States in speech events. A cumulative average rank in preliminary rounds of 3 or less in an event will earn one bid towards States in that event. All students who advance to finals, regardless of their cumulative ranks, will also receive one bid each in the event in which they reach finals.
The State qualification for Multiple will be by piece and one more than 50% of the cast in that piece. Alternatively, 100% of a cast may qualify together and may enter with another piece. In order to qualify for States, casts and pieces must receive two bids.
Students must earn two bids to qualify for the State Championship tournament in Student Congress. A student may earn no more than one bid per League-sanctioned tournament. All students who rank in the top six of their preliminary chamber, including students tied for sixth place, shall earn one bid regardless of chamber size. A student who does not rank in the top six of their chamber, but who qualifies for the Super Session of a League-sanctioned Congress tournament, shall, similarly, earn one bid.
Public Forum Debaters qualify for the State Championship Tournament if the two debaters have a winning preliminary round record at an MSDL sanctioned tournament debating together as a pair.
