520 |a A study was conducted to (1) describe the male/female participation and success in regional and national forensic individual events tournament competition, and (2) identify areas of gender-based inequity from these data. Letters requesting 1984-85 tournament results were sent to 44 individual events tournament directors, of which 20 were sufficient for accurate tabulation. Participants' sex and male/female distribution ratios for both preliminary and elimination rounds of competition were determined. Of the 5,325 participants from 20 regional individual events tournaments competing in 10 national events, 52% were male and 48% were female. Of the participants advancing to the final rounds in the 10 national events, 55% were male and 45% were female. The results indicated that while the forensic community perceives original speaking events and limited preparation events as reflecting a slight male dominance, there is in fact a slight male dominance in the former but a distinct male dominance in the latter at both regional and national levels. The results also indicated a slight male dominance in participation and success that ranges from "moderate (55% male, 45% female) in final rounds at regional tournaments to "overwhelming" (63% male, 37% female) in final rounds of national competition.
