New this year! - Extemp files may be electronically stored - At the Coaches meeting, the group voted to try for one year using computers for storing information on the topic areas. This is just a trial, and we can assess the value of this system at the spring meeting before putting it into the bylaws. The MFA will try computer storage files for the extemp event for a year and if a student is found using any outside communication system device while in the round, they will be disqualified from the tournament. Please let the officers know if you are experiencing any difficulties with this new guideline.
