Judge obligations extend one round past the round in which that school's team(s) were eliminated. This means all judges in all divisions are obligated for one elim round. As a courtesy to those participating in elimination rounds, anyone (guest and hired judges included) who must leave early should notify the tournament director ASAP. 

We encourage you to provide your own quality judges. Please notify us as soon as possible of your judging needs.  Please ensure that any judges provided for the novice divisions are made aware of what can and cannot be run in the novice division. 

PLEASE NOTE: Gwinnett County Policy restricts the time in which payments can be received for participation in the tournament. Therefore please ensure that all fees are paid either in advance, or at registration check in.  If payment is not received by check in, tournament organizers reserve the right to prevent participation.
