Hagestrom Cup Speed Contest Rules
NEXT CONTEST:
2019 OCRA Annual Conference, Friday, March 22, 2019
TESTS:
Five minute tests will be dictated as follows:
Literary: 220 words per minute
Jury charge: 240 words per minute
Testimony: 280 words per minute
Total transcription time allowed: Four and a half hours.
The testimony will be two-voice dictation. Neither the Q or A will be counted nor read.
ELIGIBILITY:
Any writer of shorthand (pen or machine) who is a resident of the state of Ohio and member of OCRA in good standing and who has attained at least NCRA RPR or CRC status.
NUMBER OF TRANSCRIPTIONS PERMITTED:
One of each take.
FINANCIAL INCENTIVES BARRED:
Contestants must give to the committee satisfactory assurance that they have not received, directly or indirectly, any remuneration or promise of remuneration of whatever character for entering or winning any part of this contest.
ENTRY FEE:
Please register on the Annual Conference registration form. The fee is $40 if paid by registration deadline. Fee to be paid prior to contest.
SEATING ARRANGEMENT:
The defending champion, if present, will have their choice of seats. Subsequent seating shall be at the discretion of the chief examiner of the Hagestrom Cup contest.
AWARDS:
The contestant qualifying in the most number of sections with the highest combined percentage shall be declared "champion" and shall be awarded a Hagestrom Cup championship trophy. A contestant may win the competition three times (not necessarily in succession) and will be entitled to "retire" the cup, after which time said contestant will not be permitted to participate. Medals will be awarded to the writers who place second and third, and an appropriate certificate to those who attain 95 percent or higher on any of the three tests. No transcript will be eligible for consideration with less than 95 percent accuracy.
Winners and qualifiers will be announced during the Annual Conference. A trophy will be awarded for first place, medals will be awarded for second and third place, and an appropriate certificate to those who attain 95 percent or higher. The contest committee will publish/announce only names of qualifying contestants.
CEUs:
Effective 10/1/2011, NCRA has adopted new rules for attaining CEUs and PDCs. OCRA mirrors NCRA's rules on awarding CEUs for contests, so all contests after the 2012 speed and realtime contests will abide by the new rules.
NCRA certification holders who successfully complete a speed contest at or above the level of the RMR speeds and/or successfully complete a realtime contest at or above 180 words per minute straight matter at 96% accuracy may earn 0.25 PDC per leg. Credits for any speed contest leg or realtime contest leg will be awarded only once per three-year continuing education cycle (maximum of 1.0 credit from all non-CEU credits accepted by NCRA per three-year cycle).
TRANSCRIBING:
Participants who do not wish to do their own typing may dictate their notes, but the typist must be excluded from the examination room during dictation. Transcripts will be marked for identification and corrected in such a manner that it will be impossible to know whose work is being examined until after the grading has been completed. A printer will be provided by OCRA.
A typist may only type for one contestant. Computer-aided transcription may be used. Electric stenotype machines may be used, but only in the battery mode. No tape recorders will be permitted in the examination room except those that may be used by the Speed Contest Committee.
The Speed Contest Committee will publish no names or information concerning any contestant or transcript except such as qualify under the rules.
All transcripts and notes of such transcripts are to become the property of OCRA.
The President of OCRA will appoint a committee of three, including a chairperson, for the purpose of selecting the time, place, material, dictators, and being responsible for the overall supervision of the contest.
The decisions of the committee made under these rules, or such supplementary rules as may be found necessary at the time of the contest, shall be final.
Determination of what is an error shall be determined by the current rules and guidelines of NCRA.
