@kilosperhour @SpeechMn It doesn't matter if it is intentional or not. Duos have been DQed at state many times for this because the rules are pretty black and white

[Greg Serkio @GSerkio]

@Kennythekenken @SpeechMn @Kennythekenken You found the need to barge into the tab room to complain about nonexistant rules several times (i.e. when finals were being broken and you came in because you didn't like that a speaker wasn't "dressy enough")...you don't really have a leg to stand on.

@cytheinterpguy @SpeechMn Good to know, Cy. I respect your ownership over this. It will take time to turn around a reputation that has taken years to build, but with the right motivation, it can happen!

@SpeechMn 2. Awards would stop while the announcer would make them feel stupid for cheering. Source: I've been at a meet where this has happened

[Greg Serkio @GSerkio]

@SpeechMn Exactly what Neve said. They are done-deaf to the awards expectations. Literally NO ONE is jealous of them, but everyone at the meet was getting pissed at their lack of ettiquette. If they went to legitimate meets in the cities, 1. They would be blown out of the water and

@SpeechMn Read the room, SM. Does anyone else act like animals when a person gets an award? EVERYONE gets excited for teammates, but other teams "wooing" like it was a basketball game, especially for people earning a one clap. Like this post says, LEARN SPEECH ETTIQUETTE, SM COACHES

[Greg Serkio @GSerkio]

@neveamoore @SpeechMn It was so tacky. You deserved a moment in the spotlight too. They were also celebrating/exchanging excited looks whenever certain other teams had someone place lower in a category

[Greg Serkio @GSerkio]

@SpeechMn Gross. Let's not go down this path

[Greg Serkio @GSerkio]

@SpeechMn Please take this down. Not true

[Greg Serkio @GSerkio]

@SpeechMn Schools all bring their own judges, not the host

[Greg Serkio @GSerkio]

@SpeechMn Literally the person who has a Speech about being a stuttering gay boy 🤣

[Greg Serkio @GSerkio]

@bharmsy @SpeechMn Me too!

@SpeechMn A living legend

[Greg Serkio @GSerkio]

@SpeechMn Definitely NOT written by a member of the Eveleth-Gilbert Speech Team...

[Greg Serkio @GSerkio]

@SpeechMn No.

[Greg Serkio @GSerkio]

@SpeechMn The judges are hired by the section from unaffiliated schools. Just because you are bitter about your results, does not mean they are rigged. Work harder

[Greg Serkio @GSerkio]

@SpeechMn For the love of God... work harder and stop bitching. No judge has a vendetta against your speech team.

[Greg Serkio @GSerkio]

@SpeechMn Ummm... no they weren't. Sorry you are from their school and are a little biased. It was pretty clear they weren't at the top

[Greg Serkio @GSerkio]

@SpeechMn Just know other teams think it looks like you need a baby blanket in case your feelings are hurt 🤷🏿‍♀️

[Greg Serkio @GSerkio]

@SpeechMn The layout was weird, but they also had adults stationed to answer questions. I literally had someone walk me to my room. Made it super easy
