Judge Recruitment

We seek unaffiliated judges in all events (Policy, LD, PF, Congress, Speech). Judges must be high school graduates or older and must have relevant experience to judge a high school speech and debate tournament. Judges must also have access to a wifi-enabled device (laptop/desktop is better than a smart phone) with a stable wifi connection during the course of the tournament, as the tournament will be a virtual event.

If you are interested, please look at the tournament schedule and tournament policies. In order to be in the judge pool, click on the tab for Judge Sign Up. Once signed up using your tabroom account, indicate what your availability is (by selecting rounds for which you would be UNAVAILABLE). Once completed, we will contact you if we need more information about you.

Please know that judges who complete the signup process are not automatically hired; you are just indicating your availability and interest in being hired. We will contact you when we decide if you will be activated in the judge pool.
