KHSSL Handbook 57 2012-2013/1.1regional and State Championships the following year.7. Both junior and senior division students may participate in a maximum of three events each at theState Championship, and each school may have a maximum of three entries in each event.Students who previously prequalified in an event but were not listed on the regional entry form inthat event may be allowed as substitutes in extreme situations by the Executive Director. Onlyprequalified students may so be allowed.8. At the State Championship, all contestants participate in three preliminary rounds per event. Thenumber of sections per round for each event depends upon the number of entries for that event.The preferred number of contestants in these sections is six, but there may be no fewer than five,nor more than eight contestants in a section. There will be a different mix of contestants in each ofthe rounds. Students from the same school shall not compete in the same section and, wheneverpossible, students from the same region shall not compete in the same section.9. All judges at the State Championship are required to be certified by KHSSL before the firstpreliminary round of competition. For each judge not having been certified, unless otherwiseexcused by the Tournament Director, the associated school must pay a $25.00 fee, due beforepostings for final rounds; otherwise no contestant representing that school may proceed to the finalround of competition in any event. The Executive Director shall indicate, early in the academicyear, the method of certification for the upcoming season.10. In Oratory and Public Speaking, the coach of each contestant must submit, no less than seven daysprior to the start of the State Tournament, an electronic copy of the Oratory/Speech to theExecutive Director. The copy should include a statement indicating that the Oratory/Speech is theoriginal work of the student. All quotations should be cited per MLA format.11. At the Regional or State Tournaments, each contestant must be prepared, in the event of challenge,to demonstrate that their interpretation or reading piece is legal within the KHSSL rules.12. There will be one judge in each section of each preliminary round, and no judge shallevaluate the same event twice. Each contestant in each section receives a rank (the mosteffective contestant being ranked first or "1," the next most effective second or "2," etc.) and arating (from a low rating of 70 to a high rating of 100). The contestant ranked first must receive arating of 100, but a low rating of 70 does not have to be given. At the conclusion of thepreliminary rounds, contestants shall be placed in order as follows:a. Contestants are first ordered by composite rank. Students with the lowest composite ranksare preferred. For example, if one contestant has ranks of 1, 2, and 3, his/her composite rank would be1+ 2 + 3 = 6, and he/she would be preferred over a contestant having ranks of 2, 2, and 4 for acomposite rank of 2 + 2 + 4 = 8.b. Contestants having identical composite ranks are then ordered by composite reciprocal.Students with the highest composite reciprocal are preferred. The reciprocal of 1 is 1/1 or1, the reciprocal of 2 is 1/2 or .5, the reciprocal of 3 is 1/3 or .333, etc. For example,contestants having ranks of 1, 1, 3 and 1, 2, 2 both have a composite rank of 5; however, the firstcontestant has a composite reciprocal of 1/1 + 1/1 + 1/3 = 1 + 1 + .333 = 2.333 and is preferredover the second contestant who has a composite reciprocal of 1/1 + 1/2 + 1/2 = 1 + .5 + .5 = 2.
KHSSL Handbook 58 2012-2013/1.1c. Contestants having identical composite ranks and composite reciprocals are thenordered by composite rating. Students with the highest composite rating are preferred.For example, suppose a first contestant has ranks/ratings of 1/100, 2/95, and 3/94 while asecond contestant has ranks/ratings of 1/100, 2/92, and 3/90. Both contestants have a compositerank of 6 and a composite reciprocal of 1/1 + 1/2 + 1/3 = 1 + .5 + .333 = 1.833, butcontestant one has a composite rating of 100 + 95 + 94 = 289 and is preferred over contestanttwo with a composite rating of 100 + 92 + 90 = 282.d. If two or more contestants have identical composite ranks, reciprocals, and ratings, theyshall be considered tied in order.10. The top eighteen contestants in order shall advance to the semi-final round. There will be threesections of six contestants each, and students from the same school shall not be sectionedagainst one another. The sections shall be seeded as follows:1. Section A -- Contestants ranked 1st, 4th, 7th, 12th, 15th, and 18th2. Section B -- Contestants ranked 2nd, 5th, 8th, 11th, 14th, and 17th3. Section C -- Contestants ranked 3rd, 6th, 9th, 10th, 13th, and 16thAdjustments in placement of contestants may be necessary in order to prevent two students fromthe same school from being sectioned against one another. Only in the event of an absolute tie asoutlined in items 11a-d shall an additional contestant be advanced to the semi-final round, and suchcontestant would be placed in a random section.11. There will be three judges in each semi-final section, and they shall rank and ratecontestants as in the preliminary rounds. At the conclusion of the semi-final round,contestants shall be placed in order as follows:a. Contestants are first ordered by composite rank as outlined in item 11a.b. Contestants having identical composite ranks are then ordered by judges' preference.Consider the following example which gives the ranks of two contestants from judges A, B, and C:A B CContestant One 1 4 2Contestant Two 2 1 4Judge A indicated that he/she preferred contestant one by giving him/her the lowest rank.Likewise, judge B indicated that he/she preferred contestant two and judge C indicated that he/shepreferred contestant one. Contestant one is therefore preferred two judges to one.c. Contestants having identical composite ranks and on whom the judging preferencemethod would not yield a majority decision are then ordered by utilizing compositereciprocals as outlined in item 11b and then reapplying judges' preference.Consider the following example which gives the ranks of three contestants from judges A, B, and C:
