IE Patterns
These patterns of events are based on how many students are registered for the various categories of speeches. They are arranged to give an equal balance of rooms needed during speech rounds. Other factors include separating Broadcasting and Duo from Extemp, as well as evening up the amount of events needing hand signals.
A word of caution to the competitors: When looking at postings, please be careful not to mix up Extemp with Expos, or OI with OO in Pattern A!
