There are NO half-time or part-time judges. All judges are full-time and will be eligible to judge every round regardless of the number of entries you have. There are two divisions of PF, LD, and Policy. As such there are two pools of judges. You cannot combine obligations to reduce your burden.
There are very few hired judges available. You must email sarah.kubus@dmschools.org to get a hired jduge name if they're available. The cost would be $200.
