Tournament 8

Event Details

Judging

All teams must provide one judge for the event. Teams that do not provide a judge may be unable to compete.
We are more lenient on the judge requirements for teams that are travelling out of their city! We extend all efforts to not remove traveling teams from the tournament due to not having a judge.
- With that being said, we cannot run tournaments without judges! If a team has a volunteer judge willing to travel on the bus, it would be extremely helpful to ensure the success of the tournament.
Judges do not need previous experience. We provide a judge briefing at the start of every event to teach judges how to score a debate.
Judges register HERE by ~~February 24~~ extended to February 28th.
